Black Vulture hatchling Johnson City, TN 12 May 2015.jpg



A nestling Black Vulture is shown in a nest on Mountain View Road

in Johnson City, Washington County, TN, Tuesday afternoon. It has

just hatched from the broken egg shown at the right and the egg

to the left has been piped and the opening is shown at the top of

the wide end of the egg. It was in the process of hatching. The

Black Vulture barn nest site Johnson City 12 May 2015.jpgphoto was taken in

mid afternoon.



The nest substrate is

on a bail of hay in a

very dark upper loft

corner of an abandoned

barn.
