David,
The Biologist said this is less rare then the volunteer thought. In the last 5 years there have been Black Vultures in the area with one other confirmed nest a few years back. She was going to investigate and let me know what she thinks. Maybe she won’t find it and I’ll have to show them where it is. I thought she would have commented on the photos but I have heard nothing on them yet. I will some how sneak in another offer to do more photography, thanks for the push.
Richard,
Thanks for the compliments. I wish she hadn’t been so secluded the photos would have been better. But that is one reason she chose that spot. I am also looking forward to seeing some chicks, hopefully the nest makes it that long. I will be sure to sneak a peek now and then. I was warned however that a Vulture not only vomits when stressed, but Mom and young are capable of projectile vomiting. This defense mechanism has been found to be very effective and the odor long lasting. It sounds like I was lucky.
