FYI, I thought that I had stripped out the hyperlink to plain text in my prior post but I guess not.

[nysbirds-l] Vulture predation habits
I'm seeing a few Turkey Vultures with some regularity around the Sills Road, Medford area (Suffolk) in the past few days. This in itself is not particularly noteworthy but it does give me an opportunity to post the following link: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/kentucky/articles/2019-06-28/black-vultures-are-roosting-and-eating-animals-alive It's a gruesome article about vultures eating animals alive that you'll enjoy reading over lunch today or dinner this evening. With our seemingly increasing Long Island population of Turkey Vultures, and Black Vultures also showing range expansion here, I often wonder how they find enough carrion to survive on the island... I fear it won't be long before Newsday publishes some hysterical article about Turkey Vultures devouring people's pets alive right in their backyards.
