Re: Pretty in Flight...but
Hey, Ramble-on. You've got a black vulture here! Black vultures are a more compact version of turkey vulture, and they have a black face rather than red. You can sometimes see this when the bird's in flight, if it isn't too high.
The placement of pale feathers on the wing is different, also--turkey vultures show pale feather tips along the trailing edge of the wing; black vultures show pale feathers at the ends of each wing. This field mark is often noticeable when the vulture is soaring high. -
