I believe you meant to say Black Vulture Christine. Honey has the Turkey Vulture. Blacks have a black face & Turkey's have a red face.

We've had Vultures land on our roof before & yep, they sure do make a heck of a thump. We especially freaked out when they landed on our new metal roof (in a different house). All we could think about was those claws scratching the protective finish on the metal.
Thanks for the new thread Carole! Those parrots are so colorful.
Nice Mallard shots Robert.
Can't blame you for hitting the road. You can only hang out just so long waiting and waiting.......
