Country intro
Black Vulture post meal, Tatama National Park, Colombia
This black vulture was just standing there not bothered by us when we were close to returning to the lodge after a full day hike. If you zoom into its head, you can see its wet and covered in blood and probably guts.
The black vulture is a bird in the New World vulture family whose range extends from the southeastern United States to Peru, Central Chile and Uruguay in South America. Although a common and widespread species, it has a somewhat more restricted distribution than its compatriot, the turkey vulture, which breeds well into Canada and south to Tierra del Fuego.
