CENTRAL FLORIDA CRITTER OF THE DAY: Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus)
Scavenger. Smaller size, pale head, white legs and wings with only the underside tips showing white distinguish this one from its Turkey Vulture cousin.
Diet: mainly carrion
Shown in Florida native plant: LONGLEAF PINE TREE (Pinus palustris)
