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
They flew north over downtown around 11:15am. But it’s worth checking that
smokestack for them regularly.

The frequently seen group of 4 Black Vultures have been perched atop the large,
old, concrete Morse Chain smokestack low on South Hill in Ithaca this morning.
I believe they are a family who bred in the area this year.
