Hello all,
Yesterday I received the following message from Amy Ripps:

I spoke to Amy and two Black Vultures have begun perching on her deck railing on
a regular basis. I can understand her concern in such close proximity to her
home. Her home is in a wooded area. I've no real recommendations for her but I
did suggest she put some branches on the railings that would give them insecure
footing to see if that will help - that may just move them to the roof! She
also has dogs that are keep leashed. I suggested frequent forays with them
outside to disturb the vultures.
Amy would appreciate any other help you can offer but she is not a subscriber to
Carolinabirds so please either respond to her directly or to me so I can pass it
along - and I thought I had a problem with just starlings and grackles!!!
Thanks,
Lena
