#vultures — Public Fediverse posts

Please enjoy this spontaneous future album cover test shoot from The Carrion Bros.*

*I cannot for the life of me get a good, clear shot of a bird I stg. Also, crow fam was not amused by the visit from the turkey vultures.

Black vultures are much stronger fliers, & will fly above them, swooping down once the turkey vultures locate a meal (carcass). Turkey vultures are bigger and can fend off a black vulture one on one, but sometimes the black vultures will come in as a gang and take over.

Here is a group of black vultures, nearby another swamp buddy, the #alligator.

25 Himalayan Griffon Vultures Dead After Feeding On Dogs Carcass! Poisoning Or Something Sinister?

California Condors are nesting in northern California now! It wasn't by chance either-- tons of effort by many parties, including a small part I played in 2012 with a contaminants and disease survery study I co-led to check out other avian scavengers on the northwest coast. Anyway, awesome news! https://coastalraptors.com/2026/03/25/condors-believed-nesting-in-the-pacific-northwest-for-the-first-time-in-more-than-100-years/#comment-41533

Rollin' .... Rollin'.... 🎶

A warm day between cold spurts... and birds are continuing to return after years of human & weather disruption (hurricanes).

Here is a pair of roseate spoonbills, with many limpkins nearby (brown with white spots), plus black vultures, and a cormorant.

#Indiana reports #AvianInfluenza cases in wild birds in 3 counties

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — "#BirdFlu has been found in a #WildDuck and #vultures in Indiana, the Department of Natural Resources said in a news release issued Friday.

"The announcement comes after avian influenza was found earlier this month at five commercial #duck farms in northern Indiana.

"Natural Resources says bird flu has been found in a #BlueWingedTeal in Greene County in southwest central Indiana, and in death black vultures in Jefferson County in southern Indiana. The virus is also suspected in similar cases involving dead #BlackVultures in Franklin County in southeast central Indiana.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services and the state’s department recorded the finds.

"Signs of bird flu in waterfowl and raptors include sudden death; neurological impairment such as lack of coordination and tremors; a lack of energy and appetite; swelling of the head, neck, and eyes; nasal discharge; cough; sneezing; and diarrhea.

"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believes the public health risk from bird flu is low, but humans can contract the virus. People are advised to avoid contact with sick #waterfowl and other wildlife. If handling a carcass is necessary, Natural Resources recommended the use of disposable gloves and a mask, and double bagging the carcass, and washing hands thoroughly afterward.

"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommends that waterfowl hunters process birds in a well-ventilated area or outdoors and wear protective clothing such as a face mask and gloves. Meat harvested from waterfowl should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F before consumption.

"The Indiana Department of Health advises individuals to contact them if they develop symptoms such as eye irritation, fever, cough, or other flu-like symptoms after contact with waterfowl. They can be reached at 317-233-7125 during business hours or 317-233-1325 after hours.

"Because domestic and agricultural animals — including poultry, cattle, and cats — are also susceptible to avian influenza, it is recommended to process and dispose of harvested waterfowl away from these animals and practice good #biosecurity measures."

🏺🦅 Spanish researchers surveyed 12 abandoned bearded vulture #nests and discovered 226 human #artifacts, some nearly 700 years old, preserved alongside animal remains. The #vultures' cliff cave nests acted as natural #museums, protecting items like medieval #shoes, crossbow bolts, and woven baskets through centuries. #Carbon dating revealed artifacts spanning from the #MiddleAges to 150 years ago.

Mit diesem Rabengeier / Black Vulture wünsche ich euch eine gute Nacht.
Er gehörte zu einer Gruppe von Geiern die ein totes Gürteltier am fressen waren.
Das Gürteltier wurde vermutlich durch Hunde getötet. Hunde sind einer sehr große Bedrohung für die Säugetiere in der kolumbianischen Anden. Es sind keine wilden Hunde, es sind die Haus und Hofhunde, die Hütehunde, die auch so umherstreifen und dann Jagd auf die Säuger machen.
