Re: Need ID of bird by silhouette please

["Ray Mansell" BCTess]

  I had wondered about foreshortening, too, but with just a silhouette
to go on, I'd have to say it's going to be impossible to get a 100% ID. =

Of course, it would help to know the relative frequency of occurrence of
the likely candidates in the region.

If there's no foreshortening, then it looks very like the Black Vultures
I see around here (SE New York state).
