Media notes
Vulture flew up to the perch in the dark and started hissing. I am sure it could see me, but I couldn't see it without the flash on my camera
Observation details
RECORDED!!! I was waiting for the Elf Owl to start calling again when I heard the sounds of a large something in the dark that I thought was on the ground going through brush. Then I could hear the sounds of heavy wingbeats and the louder sounds of landing on the power pole above me. It seemed too loud for an owl. then it started to hiss. I guessed it was a vulture, but had to get my camera flash to operate to know for certain.
