Bird of the Month: Black Vulture
September’s bird of the month is Black Vulture
Coragyps atratus, our Black Vulture, is cousin to last month’s BOM, the Turkey Vulture. Although both birds are “black,” only C. atratus is the Black Vulture.
A gregarious bird, the Black Vulture can often be found roosting, feeding, and soaring in company with its cousin, but separating the two is fairly easy. Come to the September meeting to find out how!
