Looking out the front window the other morning, we spotted this. On a tree branch at the house across the street.
Looks maybe like some kind of bird! Using my zoom, I looked closer. It was not there yesterday
Yikes, it IS a very large bird! Even see the tail? The city next to us, about 20 minutes away, has groups of vultures. They nest in tall pines and patrol for food. Maybe now we have our own vultures? I zoomed closer.
Well, it has to be a vulture. No other bird around here is so large and black. But I still cannot get a good enough look to confirm it, drat! Despite my bad foot, and still wearing my bathrobe, we drove across the street to the house. I hoped no one was out and saw me! This is what we saw.
Duh!!! It looks like maybe a nest was blown in by last night's storm? Could it be a squirrel's nest (a Drey)? It is still there now, and I look for any kind of critter that goes near it.

LOL, I was convinced by the first couple pictures that it was a bird.
Too funny! I thought it was a vulture too!
LOL....I thought it was a bird and in the next few pictures, I was still convinced that it was a bird. What a surprise to see that it's not...Funny!!
lol! I can just picture you out there in your bathrobe snooping around taking pictures!
I thought it was a vulture too. :)
That’s funny. I didn’t know what it was. At first I thought it was a bear cub.
I wasn't sure it was a bird until you mentioned the tail - and then I was wrong!
You had me convinced. Thank you for checking further. 😊
LOL- A bird by any other name? That is hysterical! xo Diana
It sure looked like a bird till I expanded the view on my computer...
I thought that was a bird too! Your shares are always so interesting. Take care and stay safe. We have hawks and they are terrible mean birds. We have small pups. Always on the lookout. We see lots of black birds, they are scavengers hunting for food always. I think they like junk food! heehee
A vulture! How cool is that, Ginny? I hope you are right.
I also thought it was a bird at first.
That really looked like a bird. Great catch! Made me smile you going out in your bathrobe. Applauding here. I hope your foot is feeling better.
That DID look like a big bird in your neighbor's tree. I believe Vultures aren't usually that dark. Glad you found out the mystery though. ; )
Hope your foot is feeling better, Ginny.
