Flag Signal For I'm Lost!

This is a Black Vulture that has somehow messed up it's GPS because it's not supposed to be in Western New York State, especially in the Winter! We get a couple BV's through here during Spring migration but this bird is really "out of season".
There is hope that it will survive the Winter (there are a couple of deer carcasses nearby that it has been feeding off) but Mother Nature has a way of culling out those that should be be around too long.
Good luck!

Great catch of it enjoying its misguided Winter adventure.

It's a Mrs BV ... tell it to turn the map the other way up!

Birdy confusion! Yeah, they are all down here except this guy! I thought we were missing one!

It's funny you posted this and the comments. We had just watched a PBS show about wolves and bears in Yellowstone. Seems they found a bear that was not in hibernation, the bear was feeding off a carcass. Nice find Patti, maybe it will survive the winter.

Nice capture. These are impressive birds, it will really be a shame if it doesn't survive.

The way the weather has been this year...maybe it's messing with the birds as well. What fun to come across this and capture this shot!
