I am starting this thread for people to post photos from their gut piles and bone yards. We butchered lambs a week ago so there are still vultures around. By the time the southern zone firearms season opens, the vultures will be gone from this far north. All my good cameras are out looking for deer so I used an ancient Moultrie I60 for the bone yard. It took plenty of photos but started doing something weird: many of the daytime shots are B&W just like an IR photo. I didn't post any of them but in some the sun is shining.
Common Raven - Note the head shape and huge beak.
One of my favorite species of NYS fauna.
