Observation details
Initially I saw a vulture with faster wing-beats (different than Turkey Vultures also present) with silverish under wings fly in front of me, so I relocated the bird. It had perched with multiple Turkey Vultures at a known TV roost, being a dead snag at the curve of Broadway St (M-62), on the north limits of Cassopolis. It was smaller than the Turkey Vultures, had gray-ash head, gray-silver wingtips which I saw when it stretched, or flexed, its wings. The birds legs were longer in relation to its body than the Turkey Vultures, also a gray-ash color. I tried to snap a couple of photos. I have seen Black Vultures in Michigan on two other occasions (Berrien Co 2005); and Howard Twp, Cass County circa 2008 or 2009. I have seen the species countless times in the Southeastern US. Once in Indiana (Madison, on the Ohio River).
