[Mnbird] Interesting vulture activity--Plymouth MN

[Richard Carlson]

This A growing world wide phenomenon.  Apparently a learned behavior since it is so localized.  The worst vultures are at Everglades Park where Black Vultures destroy both wipers and window seals.  Damage can be $1,000's.   Also reported attacking wipers are crows in England, Australia and NZ.  Keas in NZ are notorious for attacking car wipers and seals.
