Baby Birdorable: American Black Vulture
If you think our Birdorable birds are cute as adults, what about when they are babies? Below are some baby photos (shared via Flickr Creative Commons) of the American Black Vulture. Black Vultures do not build nests. Eggs are usually laid in a scrape-type location, which may be an exposed tree trunk, a cave, or an abandoned building. The typical clutch size is two eggs. Both parent birds share equally in incubation duties; incubation lasts up to 39 days. The first photo below shows an adult bird sitting on a nest in an abandoned building-type habitat.
