The Black Vultures are in residence again. Been going in and out of the barn/shed. We'll see!

Long-range photo, nearly 400 yards away: Three Black vultures in the horse pasture looking to the right (at the coyote which just stole their meal.)

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a gently glowing vulture skeleton standing on flat ground under a full moon with a vulture skull silhouetted across its face. There are mountains in the background and stars in the night sky.
Vulture Ghost stalks the land whenever a full moon coincides with Friday the 13th. Which isn’t very often. 
Vulture Ghost doesn’t get seen a lot. This makes Vulture Ghost sad.

When the full moon coincides with Friday the 13th, Vulture Ghost stalks the land under the Vulture Moon.

(VG doesn’t stalk very often; the last Vulture Moon was October 2000. Next one is August 2049.)

A marker and paint pen drawing in the style of an Oracle card of a juvenile vulture kneeling on a book, in front of a window open to the starry night sky and a full moon. Gold text underneath reads “The Young Vulture”.
The Vulture’s pale feet are resting on a brown leather-bound book with gilt page edges (vulture knees bend the opposite from humans, so their bent legs rest in front of them). The table underneath is covered with a red cloth, and the wall is olive brown.
The full moon frames the vulture’s head, highlighting the ruff of baby feathers around their neck. The vulture has their head turned to the right in profile, so that one eye is looking at the viewer, and their beak is pointed down, with a very slight smile.
Juvenile vultures spend their first year exploring everything, while their parents keep an eye on them and make sure they learn to feed themselves. Some years, the juveniles that nest in an outbuilding leave quickly, some years they hang out on our deck. One year, I watched the younger juvenile and the adult male pull the elastic on our lounge chair for an entire morning. They were so happy. :)

Not saying I’m going to do an oracle card, but if I did, The Young Vulture is the card of curiosity, learning, joy, and being child-like. 😊💜

Perched in Silence

"A solitary black vulture perches on a rugged tree branch, its silhouette etched sharply against a pale, almost ethereal sky. The bird’s broad wings are folded with quiet authority, each feather layered like armor. Its hooked beak curves downward—a tool of survival and sovereignty—while its head, turned slightly to the side, reveals a profile both regal and watchful. The tree branch beneath it is gnarled and textured, reaching out like an ancient limb, adorned with sparse leaves and brittle twigs that whisper of wind and time. The background is a soft wash of light, devoid of clutter, allowing the dark majesty of the vulture to dominate the frame. The composition is stark yet poetic, evoking solitude, endurance, and the quiet dignity of a creature built for the margins." - Microsoft Copilot

This committee of vultures would rather be overhead looking for lunch and are of the collective opinion an e-mail would have sufficed.

"Three black vultures (Coragyps atratus) perch in quiet formation on a sturdy, timeworn tree branch, their bodies angled slightly but their heads all turned decisively to the left. This synchronized posture gives the scene a sense of alertness and quiet purpose, as if the birds are watching something just beyond the frame. Their plumage is a velvety black, absorbing light rather than reflecting it, while their bare, wrinkled heads—charcoal-gray and textured like ancient stone—add a solemn, almost mythic quality. The branch beneath them is thick and gnarled, flanked by sparse pine needles and slender twigs that reach out like fingers. Behind them, the sky is a soft wash of pale blue with faint wisps of cloud, lending the image a calm, contemplative atmosphere. The composition feels both grounded and elevated, as if these vultures are sentinels of the sky. In the bottom right corner, the image is signed “© Swede’s Photographs.”" - Copilot

Vultures of Mt Watatic #Hawkwatch (MA). September doesn’t have many migrating Turkey Vulture but we see LOTS of locals soaring over the summit’s thermal or cruising updrafts. This year we hit a record 14 Black Vulture, our highest count ever, including 7 at once! #turkeyvulture #blackvulture 🦅🪶🌎
