Black Vultures have been hanging around along one of our regular driving routes over the past few years.  On this route is a burned out house with broken windows.  I really wish the house would be fixed or torn down, but none the less, it is there and seems to have become a place for these big birds to lay their eggs and raise their young.  So when I catch a glimpse of them and I have my zoom lensed camera in hand, I'll try to get a few photos.  According to Wikipedia, vultures will lay their eggs on floors in abandoned buildings.  That explains their presence here and along back roads through farm land.(photo taken in Delco)A Committee of Vultures 10/13/2022
