Black Vultures: by Jim Swartwood 7/27/20 Jefferson County KY

These are two of a twenty-seven Black Vulture committee that were sun bathing and preening in two dead trees.

 

A group of vultures is called a kettle, committee or wake. The term kettle refers to vultures in flight, while committee refers to vultures resting on the ground or in trees. Wake is reserved for a group of vultures that are feeding. (Wikipedia) Another side note, an adult weighs between two and four pounds.
