Thom Smith: Everything you need to know about black and turkey vultures

Q: I m emailing you because I just finished reading the piece you did with The Berkshire Eagle about black vultures last April. I was researching black vultures in Massachusetts because I saw one yesterday in the backyard in Deerfield! I was able to grab a couple videos. No one seems to be as excited as I am about it, so I figured you might be. I was out with my chickens and though I know they prefer carrion, they can still find prey. I was in awe, they are so beautiful. I can see why they became your life bird. I don t know a lot of the terms, but I am learning. I spend a lot of time on the Deerfield River and 21 acres out there on my land admiring the birds. (Many bald eagles, mergansers, mallards, wood duck, heron .) The birds out there are amazing. I identified a yellow-rumped warbler last year, I had never seen one before.
