Hi Orhan and all, There was indeed a Black Vulture at Montauk in early March 2000. Patricia Lindsay and I saw it on 5 March and were very excited, given the species' real rarity on Long Island at that time. It would be seven years before we saw another Black Vulture on LI.

But I am sure I saw Black Vultures somewhere around Doodletown, around that time.
