Vulture Convention!
On the morning of December 4, 2021, when I visited our local McDowell Prairie and nearby Copperhead Island with a small group from the Mecklenburg Audubon Society, for some reason there were MANY vultures around, particularly Black Vultures!
I’m not sure why.
In any case, today I’d like to share several photos of Black Vultures, and one shot of a Turkey Vulture along with seven Black Vultures, all from Copperhead Island.
Enjoy!
Stay safe, and have a great day!
