Thanks to Danny, Paul Noell, the Baltimore Sun and all others who have
reported this. This is the second year that Black Vulture breeding has been
confirmed at this location. Glenn Therres reported it last April as an
incidental report.

Keep looking and reporting breeding birds, everyone. We are now in the final
year of the Maryland and DC Breeding Bird Atlas Project. All reports,
especially confirmations, are appreciated.
