Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures

[Paul G. Rodewald]

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.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

[Dave Nutter]

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 just that there are lots of potential observers, and 
they are conspicuous so they get reported more here even though they travel 
widely? Anyway it seems to be continuing. Is there a food source for them in 
the neighborhood? Or did they nest here?

I wonder how many pairs we are dealing with, how many birds are local, and how 
many of the birds seen recently have been migrating through.

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

[bob mcguire]

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 have 
since seen a large group of TUVU’s roosting in different spots along the gorge 
in the vicinity of the visitor’s center. It is possible that the Black Vultures 
roost there as well - at least on occasion.

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

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

[Donna Lee Scott]

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 car.

On another trip in northeastern Florida, I was at one of the state springs 
parks & watched a lone black vulture decimating the picnic food of people who 
had left packages of hot dog buns & a big , cut-in-half watermelon with no 
covering on a picnic table.
They were in for a surprise when they returned!
I thought, “ BV is getting even with humans for all their various 
transgressions against the bird world!”
(BTW, I was thrilled to encounter 11 Florida Scrub Jays in the thickets along 
US Hwy. 19 just outside the park when I left later in the day).

This morning at around 8:30 there was a single Black Vulture at the Tompkins

vulture was.  It was sitting on top of the Fork Over Tompkins trailer doing its 
best to tear out the top vent. I don’t know if there were any food scarps left 
in the trailer, but I am sure it was emanating an wonderful odor.  The vulture 
was using its beak to try to pry through the slats of the vent as well as 
hooking its bill under them and trying to rip it up.  In the few minutes I 
watched, it was not been successful in the least.

Closer to home in Freeville, Chipping Sparrows, Eastern Towhee, and House Wren 
are all back on territory. Ruby-crowned Kinglets have been around for a few 
days as well.  A pair of Juncos has been busy rejuvenating a previous years 
nest.

Re:[cayugabirds-l] Black vultures

[Nari Mistry]

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 
flapping continuously. They passed right over us and we could clearly 
see they were black vultures. They continued north towards Fall Creek 
and disappeared over the horizon. They were flapping non-stop in a 
steady rhythm from horizon to horizon. There were several TVs lazily 
soaring around too.
The appearance of Black Vultures here in winter seems to be clear 
evidence of the climate changing. Can't attribute it to new highways and 
prevalence of roadkill which was given as the reason when TVs first 
started appearing here years ago.

Nari & Gin Mistry,
Ellis Hollow Rd.

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.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures over Lansing

[Dave Nutter]

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 deck at 
the Lab of O between noon & 1pm by Tom Auer, Drew Weber and several others. 
Pretty cool!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Black Vultures over Lansing

[Gary Kohlenberg]

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 may be worthwhile to try and pick them up again.

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

[Meena Madhav Haribal]

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 :-(

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,
