Could be these are bonded birds hanging out together but actual courtship seems to be more active and to involve display, or at least the male lifting & holding his wings over his head - see Birds by Bent .  (Note that the months given

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

I just spent a little over an hour watching a pair of Black Vultures atop the concrete smokestack low on South Hill in the City of Ithaca. That’s at the old Morse Chain / Emerson Power Transmission factory. I can scope it from my house, and it’s probably visible from numerous locations around th

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures

Clicking on the Google maps link within this eBird checklist will point to the barn where I saw two BLVUs on 16 February. My notes within the checklist. Hard to say much about what was really happening as I was simply driving by the barn and did not stop or return to observe their behavior. ht

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

The barn is between Freeville & McLean, more specifically along the SE side of Fall Creek Rd between Red Mill Rd & Malloryville Rd. Google maps shows a building complex associated with a closed farm stand. Below is the eBird rare bird report which I saved. The record doesn’t show up in the eBird

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

Seems to me unlikely that many black vultures are nesting north of us. We should see more incl juveniles in fall.  Maybe I haven’t been on top of the observations, but doesn’t match my memory. So migrating throughWhere’s this barn?  Near McLean  or Lime Hollow?  I will say that I haven’t seen t

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

Paul Rodewald said a pair of Black Vultures seemed to be prospecting a barn recently between Freeville & Cortland. Last year the number of sightings over downtown Ithaca & lower S Hill, & near Titus Flats/ Wegmans/ the Elmira Rd strip seemed like some affinity - maybe nesting nearby? Or is it

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures perched in Ithaca

Right after theTaughannock loon watch concluded (Nov 18th) several of us observed a group of four Black Vultures flying in the gorge opposite the visitor’s center. At the same time there were 10 - 15 TUVU’s roosting on the cliff face, backs to the sun, wings outstretched (to catch the sun). I h

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures perched in Ithaca

They flew north over downtown around 11:15am. But it’s worth checking that smokestack for them regularly. - - Dave Nutter > On Dec 11, 2023, at 10:22 AM, Dave Nutter wrote: > > The frequently seen group of 4 Black Vultures have been perched atop the > large, old, concrete Morse Chain smokest

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

When I was in the Everglades in 2020, in one of the main parking areas (Anhinga?) off the main road to Flamingo, I witnessed several black vultures ripping black rubber parts off parked cars! One had to get there early to get one of about 20 tarps the Nat’l. Park Service provided to cover ones

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

This beautiful sunny afternoon at around 3:45pm Gin and I stopped at the Stevenson/Dodge Rd. junction to see if any Black Vultures would show up. Within a few minutes in the distance we saw four vulture types in close formation flying north towards us over Snyder Hill, flying straight and flapp

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

At 10:45 the black vultures were in some trees just south of the bridge on Dodge Rd. They then flew into the pheasant farm just in front of the little hut facing Stevenson Rd. They were still there at 11:15. Tom Frank Brad Walker wrote: > The four black vultures are currently perched in

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures over Lansing

I think there's a good chance, not only that the 2 Black Vultures which Gary Kohlenberg & Ann Mitchell saw at 4:30 this afternoon at Woodsedge & Cayuga Vista are those which Meena Haribal saw around 2:30 at North Triphammer & Hillcrest Roads, but that they are also the same birds seen from the d

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures over Lansing

The 2 BV's in Lansing were associated with a flock of 27 Turkey Vultures, including one with a white wingtip. We never saw them leave, west or north, so may be roosting somewhere in the area between the new Dollar General store on East Shore Dr., N. Triphammer Rd. and Asbury Rd. Tomorrow it ma

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures in TV kettle

Around 1.45 am lots of flocks of TVs floated through, I presume they were coming from northwest and heading southeast. I saw at least 100+ passing through. Though I did not look at each and everyone, but I did not spot any Black Vultures among them :-( Meena -Original Message- From:

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures on the move?

I saw them sitting on the compost pile at 5:00. They weren't together but were in a line of T.V.'s. Very cooperative and best seen from Stevenson Road. Best, Ann Mitchell Sent from my IPhone On Aug 28, 2013, at 1:11 PM, Jay McGowan wrote: > A few minutes ago Ben Barkley reported a BLACK VULTU
