    Black Vulture

    These scavengers have benefited from deforestation. Unlike the familiar Turkey Vulture which can find food by smell, the Black Vulture relies on line-of-sight to find food. North American birds are the nominate race. They are larger and have less obvious white markings on the underside of the...

    Black Vulture

    Formerly very rare in New Jersey. So much so that in one notorious case a "World Series of Birding" team suppressed the location of a stakeout Black Vulture to gain a competitive "big day" advantage over other teams. These vultures have since expanded their range and are now well established...

    Black Vulture

    The gray, wrinkled skin on the head indicates these are adults. This species has expanded its range into the Arizona borderlands where it remains a sparse local resident. These are the only ones we saw. Formerly included with the Storks in the Ciconiidae family, but now placed in their own...
