A followup on Carole Gobert's report of a Black Vulture in downtown
Knoxville today. A coworker of mine also saw one today flying very
close to the TVA office buildings in downtown Knoxville early this
afternoon.
Black Vultures have been fairly regular in downtown Knoxville for the
last couple years. They started perching on the two very tall
glass-faced office buildings at the south end of Gay Street. One of
these office buildings has a few outside balconies on its upper floors
and the office occupants next to one of these balconies started putting
food scraps on the balcony for the vultures. Their joy at seeing the
vultures was short-lived because the vultures quickly made a mess of the
balcony, started pecking on furniture and the window moldings, and
became pretty aggressive with their former feeders. Their food supply
was cut off, strings were stretched across the balconies, and other
measures to discourage them. Last I heard, the vultures no longer perch
on the balconies, although there are still at least a couple hanging out
downtown.

I got a quick look at a low flying black vulture at around 1 p.m.
yesterday
before it disappeared behind a tall building in downtown Knoxville.
