Black Vulture near Del Norte

[mvjo...@gmail.com]

I have just received a report with photo of a Black Vulture reported near Del Norte. It has been feeding on a deer carcass for about 3 weeks according to the report. 

I will try and get more details in case some of you want to chase. This is likely the first ever for the San Luis Valley and a rare species Statewide. Will keep you posted.  Seems so late as the Turkey Vultures vanished months ago.

I sent a message this am but evidently did not go through? 

The bird has been posted on I naturalist. Otherwise, from the intersection of County Rd 14 and Hwy 160, go up 14 for 5.0 miles  and watch on the east side of the road. The bird perches on fenceposts near a deer carcass.
