Black Vulture in Prospect historical records

Yesterday's Black Vulture seen by Gil Shrank, Matthew Wills and Eddie Davis ( from the nethermead), represents the 4th record for Prospect.

Here are the past records:

5/22-5/23 1938 from Geoffrey Carletons 1958, 1967 publication

9/15/2001 Over Lookout Hill-- observers Sean Sime, John Walsh

4/13/2008 Over Prospect Lake, within a Turkey Vulture kettle --observer Steve Nanz

4/23/2009 Lullwater - observers Gil Shrank, Mathhew Wills, Eddie Davis ( on Nethermead)

There was a hypothetical report from 1/7/1999 but no name nor documentation was received so that sighting was unaccepted.
