2 black vultures bracketing larger turkey vulture that shows longer tail
Observation details
Looked up while driving at flock of vultures circling and saw one vulture with short tail and flat broad wings. Quickly pulled over and with binoculars was able to see the gray wing tips and watch the bursts rapid flapping of a black vulture. Two together a little lower than most of the turkey vultures and being harassed by crows. Maine first! iPhone cropped photos show larger adjacent turkey vulture with wings in dihedral and longer tail. Unable to upload grainy video showing characteristic brief wing flapping.
