~ Retrato de un Buitre ~
This image was taken at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida while shooting with my friend Jared Fein (SewerDoc) from Toronto. This Vulture was keeping a keen eye on something of serious interest. I think it very well could have been Jared... *_*
The Black Vulture is a scavenger and feeds on carrion, but will also eat eggs or kill newborn animals. In areas populated by humans, it also feeds at garbage dumps. It finds its meals either by using its keen eyesight or by following other (New World) vultures, which possess a keen sense of smell. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It lays its eggs in caves or hollow trees or on the bare ground, and generally raises two chicks each year, which it feeds by regurgitation. In the United States, the vulture receives legal protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
