Just before 10AM while taking some boxes to the dumpster at work, I saw a Black Vulture in the sky just to the east of my office here on Dexter/Lewis streets in Milan.  I ran to my car to grab my bins and camera. I managed to get a couple frames of the bird. Albeit, a distant out of focus spot...nonetheless, in the frame you can tell its a Black Vulture. I will post the crappy shots on my blog tonight when I get home from work. The Black Vulture seemed to be heading out to join two Turkey Vultures that were also farther out to the east.

The birds were last seen heading east over the town of Milan.
