Black Vulture Experiences in West Rosbury Comparisons

[Paul Peterson]

As some of you may already know, I discovered eleven Black Vultures at Brook Farm Reservation in West Roxbury about a week or so ago. Two days ago, I luckily found my previous record of Black Vultures without too much difficulty in one of my notebooks'journals. The similarities were striking.. The winds were strong out of the SW on 4/22/16, just as they were during my more recent sighting. Also, one was at 4:30 and the other at 5:00. Also, they were virtually in the same location Brook Farm vs St. Joseph's Cemetery. Seventy-nine degrees the former, and sixty-four or so the latter. The previous was composed of three Black Vultures and seven Turkey Vultures. Mike McCarthy happened to see these vultures too. he lives very nearby to the spot where I happened to be . He had a different configuration of the vultures than I.
