June 11th

My Office, Sugar Land Texas

A few days ago, I posted a photo of the first baby Black Vulture fledgling. Now, Vulture Baby number two is about to finish molting.
Should be flying down from the roof in a few days.

Black Vultures do not build a nest. Instead they lay their (usually two) eggs on the bare ground in a cave, hollow tree, abandoned building, or other dark recess.
Pairs will continue to use a nest site for many years as long as breeding is successful. Black Vultures are monogamous and maintain long-term pair bonds.
The pair associate closely year round and may feed their young for as many as eight months after fledging.
This prolonged dependence of the young on their parents may, in part, be responsible for the strong social bonds with kin that Black Vultures maintain throughout their lives.
