[nysbirds-l] Black Vulture behavior

2024-01-18 Thread Andrew Block 
Saw interesting Black Vulture behavior just now.  Four were sitting on the 
chimneys of a house across from mine warming up in this cold.  I had never seen 
animals of any kind doing this.  Just shows how smart they are.  They were only 
on ones with smoke coming out.  Cool stuff.

That bird appears to have a rather full crop from feeding and is likely just 
resting after eating its fill.

On Saturday afternoon at Croton Point Park I had three black vultures two in 
and out of road picking at road kill; but the third was just sitting goose-like 
in the grass. It was not injured as gone by the time I left CPP. See photos in 
ebird link. I do not ever recall seeing such behavior of a vulture turkey or 
black. Is anyone familiar with it?
