The Black Vulture (coragyps atratus) is in the Perkasie area year round. As global warming has progressed, its range has moved northward. It forages by flying high over the ground looking for carrion or for other carrion eaters. It can be quite aggressive and has been known to drive off Turkey Vultures and take their food.
These two remind me of the pair of old guys wisecracking on the Muppets.
Family: New World Vultures
