June 14

Sugar Land, Texas

Black Vultures ~ Continued story from yesterday
Today, both parents took turns feeding the baby vulture. In this shot, baby is on the railing, trying to figure
out how to fly and Mom is coming to the door to see what I am up to.
A moment later, the baby flew straight into the glass. He's ok, though.

The photo is taken through a dirty glass door. Sorry.

What you see as normal, I'd see as exotic!

Still amazing... even more so. Vote.

Oh my - it's a huge baby, I hope he will do it and he will come back next year and present you his babies…

Fabulous capture of mother and child! :) V
We have quite a few black vultures in our area too. Thank goodness they don't roost here overnight!

A worry when the nestlings learn to fly... but a great shot and lovely story. v

What a great scene you captured here! Glad to hear the baby is OK, what a shock for his first flight. V.
