Turkey Vulture
Cathartes aura
Turkey Vultures have steadily
been increasing their range in New York State since the beginning of the 20th century, when they were considered
rare and occasional summer visitors to New York. The northward expansion of this species is hypothesized to be connected to
the dramatic increase in roads, forest fragmentation, and White-tailed deer populations over the past century.
