The two shots immediately below show the head detail of two different Black
Vultures in Kenedy Co., Texas in April, 2000. These shots were taken with a
Canon EOS 3 and EF 600mm F4 L IS lens on Fuji Provia film.

The Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) is a common scavenger across the southeastern United States southward all the way to South America. Within the United States it ranges north up the east coast to New York and a few may be found as far west as Arizona. The bird on the left was in Real Co., Texas in May, 2003. The image was taken with a Canon 10D and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens.

The shot on the left as well as the next two with spread wings were taken in northeastern Mexico in the state of Tamaulipas in December, 2004, with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 600mm F/4 L IS lens. Vultures often sit in the morning sun with spread wings to warm up.

The next two images below show a Black Vulture at the entrance of its nest. The box was on a private ranch near McCook, in Hidalgo Co., Texas, and was built to attract a Barn Owl. This Vulture found the box to its liking and incubated a single egg for several weeks in May, 2006. The shots were taken with the same equipment as the shots from Mexico immediately above.
The two shots below were taken near Ottine, Gonzales Co., Texas, in January, 2007, with the same equipment described above.

The Black Vulture in flight on the left was at Lake Tohopekaliga, Osceola Co., Florida, in February, 2007. It was shot with a canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens and 1.4X extender.
