Black Vulture individuals (
n =
116) were easily identified by size (mean of wing chord (Wc) = 46.0 cm ± 5.1,
n
= 20), the short, broad wings, short and squared tail, which barely reaches past the edge of the folded wings, and color. The plumage was glossy black. The bases of the primary feathers were white, producing a white patch on the underside of each wing’s edge. The head and neck were featherless, and the skin was dark gray and wrinkled. The legs were grayish white, the tarsus long, and the flat feet had 2 long front toes with small webs at their bases (
