Turkey Vulture nest sites monitored at HREC

Apr 16, 2011

We have four trail cameras set up on Turkey Vulture nest sites in an attempt to gather data on the activity of the adult birds.   So far all four sites have been visited by adult vultures.  Unknown to many folks is the importance to old decadent hollow oak trees to provide nest cavities for these birds.  The photo shows one of the trees and the camera set on a post.
