Vulture Mystery Half-answered (Help!)

IMG_0278Monday's mystery was a two-parter. I think the first part was too easy, so no one answered the second…

Who dese?

Ever see them perch together?

The answer to the first question is a Black Vulture and a Turkey Vulture.

I had never seen just two of them perched together like this before, nor has Stiles Thomas.

Has anyone else?

    I have never seen them together either. The Turkey Vulture has a sharper sense of smell for carrion than the Black Vulture. So the Black Vultures tend to follow Turkey Vultures for food.
    However, here, I suspect one is simply waiting for the other to electrocute himself!
