    Black Vultures

    I didn't realize this was a problem. Has anyone encountered this?

    They are a nightmare. We lost two calves to them a few years ago. Monroe has had problems with them on vehicles in the parking lot. I’ve seen vehicles there with car covers on them.

    We just spent a few days on Lake Monroe in Bloomington, IN and I did not see any around the ramp we used by the Four Winds Resort.

    There's always been a lot of vultures around Brookville Lake. Some ramps have a lot of them, some ramps there are no vultures. I've not heard of anyone having issues though. That doesn't mean it's not happened though.

    Of course I talk to myself...sometimes I need expert advice.
