Yesterday, while birding in Kenosha County, I observed what I first assumed was
a black vulture. It was soaring overhead but appeared to have white wing tips
instead of silver. Underwings were black. Has anyone ever seen this on a black
vulture? The wingtips appeared to have been dipped in white paint against the
blue sky. Was this some weird color marking by a bander or do black vultures
sometimes have white wing tips instead of silver? This was at Chiwaukee
Prairie.
Also so a mockingbird fly across in front of the car on Hwy. 32 just south of
the pierhead.
Good warbler movement at Petrified Springs:

Also had Brown Creepers and Red-breasted nuthatches there.
