We’re seeing more Black Vultures as they spread north, but, in general, the vulture overhead around here is still most likely to be a Turkey Vulture. This is one of a couple who were passing over Green-Wood recently.
In the last photo, see how the sliver/white back end of the wing feathers stretch from the primary (finger) feathers at the wingtips all the way back to the body? On a Black Vulture, only the fingers are silvery-white. A BV also has a rather short tail in comparison to a TV.
