Baby Black Vulture

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Everglades tree islands are major rookeries for birds. These two beautiful babies are black vultures. Carrion eaters, who scavenge for food, black vultures are the cleaning crews of the everglades. The two vultures shown here in these photos were not found in nests but, indeed, walking around under some dense bushes. Perhaps adult vultures do not use constructed bird nests high in the trees, but, build nests on the ground and protect there young from predators with there key eyes and hearing.
