But anyway, tell me what I know please, it is comical to hear you all tell your stories and try to justify your stereotypes... She's a flake Scott. |

Must be global warming. :) While I've never seen them on my house, it's not that unusual to see them roosting together, especially at this time of year. They are gregarious when roosting, and are starting their southern migration. They look like Turkey Vultures, but there is a slight chance they are Black Vultures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey_Vulture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Black_Vulture I wasn't sure myself to be totally honest, but I looked at my field guide. Definetly a black vulture. I called the orthano...oritha....orathe... the bird dude at the local Audubon Society and sent him the pictures - black vultures. He was surprized to seem that many of them this far north of New Jersey - normally, according to him anyway, you seldom see them north of Long Island Sound - almost always in ones and twos. Under learn something new everyday, I found out that they are active hunters for small game, birds and such. Didn't know that. You don't suppose Nancy Pelosi was in the neighborhood, do you? |

They get protein from the shore, back into the water and feed the small fish that the big fish eat. All that said I hate them too. I can usually keep them somewhat abated with special care to drainage, landscaping and avoiding any containers of water around the house but we do have 2500 sq ft of the yard screened in so we still have a safe way to go outside when they are bad They'll be out in force in the next month or so... not around in the winter, then they come back in spring. Some live in the bark of the trees. I have screening too, but mostly you just keep moving. I like being outside when the weather is nice, and it would be impossible to locate all the sources of standing water on the property (and my neighbors'). -- Nom=de=Plume |
