Black Vulture, Coragyps atratus, with cypress knees in the background. These are very common here—cleaning up last night’s roadkill in the neighborhood; following the larger Turkey Vultures, which have a better sense of smell, in a wide range across the prairie. Often see groups of 2 or 3, but a dozen or two gathered that morning on the small island just across the water to my left.
Happy Wing Wednesday!
