Bergen’s First Successful Black Vulture Nest
I got this shot at an undisclosed location in Allendale. You can still see the baby feathers a top the young Black Vulture's head.
New Jersey birding expert Bill Boyle says that he does not know of any other Bergen County nesting records for Black Vulture: " They could well be nesting in some of the wilder parts of the Ramapos, but they do show a marked preference for abandoned buildings."
If you know otherwise, please let me know.

Wow. Pretty cool. We’ve been enjoying watching the red-shouldered hawk family this summer. We’ve seen them at Crestwood lake and in the Ramey Country Club area.
