Wheeling, WV, just down the road, has had sometimes massive winter roosts of mainly TUVUs for over 25 years. Black vultures have been sprinkled in that whole time. Only a matter of time before the vultures stuck around in larger numbers around the 'Burgh.
Happy new year, all,

Burnsville, MN (where some people said they had a TUVU a week or so ago...must have been behind the Snowy Owl...)

Thought I possibly saw about a dozen Black vultures right over the park and ride lot off of 286 Holiday park by ramp to parkway today 12/31. Also 1 TV just past parkway and Churchill split. (Up to 4 TV on 12/29 same area) We have been there traveling to Presbyterian in Pittsburgh from Indiana co.
