The vultures were having their Sunday morning services on the soccer field. In addition to Turkey Vultures, there were numerous Black Vultures of various ages. Juvenile Black Vultures have head feathers and dark beak tip, while older juveniles have some of their head feathers and a yellow beak tip.
