If an animal dies on the plain the Gallinazo commences the feast, and then the two species of Polyborus pick the bones clean.

Central PA

Always a treat to see! They're much less common in SW PA, so when I can see one elsewhere it's very exciting!

Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus). There was a deer carcass nearby, drawing about 40 vultures to the same spot. It smelled awful, but they seemed to... get a kick out of it. The circle of life.

Black vulture by pe_ha45 Via Flickr: The black vulture is a bird in the New World vulture family whose range extends from the southeastern United States to Central Chile and Uruguay in South America. Although a common and widespread species, it has a somewhat more restricted distribution than its compatriot, the turkey vulture, which breeds well into Canada and south to Tierra del Fuego (Wikipedia)
