Not Eagles

I was visiting one of my favorite stretches of the upper North East River, behind St. Mary Anne's Episcopal Church and its adjoining property that years ago had been sort-of 'qui tacet consentit' used as  a parking lot by the store known simply as The Wharf (although to maintain valid ownership of the churches property letters of notice were sent to several various owners - and as well that whole street would be partially barricaded with a sign reading private property no trespassing one day of every year).  Seeing nothing of great interest I was driving away when out of the corner-of-my-eye I glimpsed what seemed to be two eagles gliding in to land on a tall tree near the old mill tail-race (which they often do on the other side of the river) and even though there was no trace of white heads it could have been last years young birds.  Taking this photograph on zoom lens showed they were two Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus) - sometimes known as American Black Vulture.
