Black Vultures at Sunrise

Category: Birds, Hiking, Video – jj_murphy – 6:09 pm

When it gets hot and humid, I try to take sunrise hikes. Right now, sunrise is closer to 7:00 AM. I typically end my sunrise hikes by 7:00 AM in the summer.

I got close enough to these birds to be sure they are not turkey vultures. Black vultures have white legs and white marks on their wings.

This was a foggy early morning. I didn’t get a successful still shot of the black vulture’s wings. But I did get some moving pictures. You can also hear the barking sound they make.
