June 23

Sugar Land, Texas

Gus has really grown. Today, his remaining (other one got killed last Thursday) parent came to feed him.
Afterward, the parent went to the curb to drink from a puddle and Gus followed.
After a very awkward landing in the street, Gus watched his parent drink and then tried it.
He didn't get the hang of it, so his parent drank and then put the water down Gus' throat.
He's trying to be a big bird now. And he sure is getting to look like an adult too.
Not a good photo, because he was way up on the roof and I didn't have the right camera.


Picture below is from a month ago when he just started getting wing feathers. You can see how he's grown since then...

He is growing fast. I hope everything goes well for him.

He really is a big bird now - keep my fingers crossed that everything goes well...

So, everyone, Lynn is the proud owner of a vulture. Once he makes the imprint, he'll never leave. How wonderful and a human interest feature.

I love the story of Gus and your photos too. I have a soft spot for vultures! V
