[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures continue at Compost

[Anne Clark]

1330h   3 Black Vultures were preening and looking generally as sleek as a 
vulture can on the N end of the wooden paddock fence, E of the Stevenson Rd 
Compost mounds.  One disappeared on me but the other 2 sat and rested after 
preening in about the same spot for the next hour.  I didn't count,  but about 
25 Turkey Vultures were sprinkled on trees, fences, mounds.  One charming 
juvenile Turkey vulture was there, looking wonderingly around.   (Why do the 
Turkey Vulture leg colors vary so much...from barely pink to brilliant red like 
their heads?)

Other than that, It was a 5 big-black-bird day during my watch of crows:   
Besides the two vultures, there were American Crows (ca 75 or less on mounds), 
Fish Crows (a few including tagged 06), and at the end, the ravens were 
calling, I thought I heard a juvenile begging and one (pretty sure juvenile--in 
flight)  flew into the compost as I was leaving. 

To be more complete:   Ring-billed Gulls of all ages, a juvenile Herring Gull 
and 2 juvenile Great Black-Backed Gulls, Mama Mallard with her now duck-like 
ducklings...

5G BYWY13 (AMCR) had some adventures in foraging, but that goes beyond general 
interest.

That looks like the European Starling nest that was in the tree next to the 
woodpeckers.

Yesterday while photographing the Red Headed Woodpeckers and young, my friend 
John Garofalo took and interesting picture which I would like people to look at 
and comment on.  In the picture you will see a parent looking out of what we 
have believed to be the only nest hole.  In a tree to the right is a hole where 
two babies are looking out.  They appear to be even younger RHW young.  Please 
see if you agree or is this some other bird.  You can tell the hole is being 
actively used due to the whitewash down the front.  These babies appear younger 
than the one that fledged yesterday.  Are they RHW babies or not?  I personally 
never saw a parent go to this hole while I was there-only the bottom of three 
hole.
