I was becoming concerned that the partner wasn't coming in often.  But I was probably just missing it?  Did see the switch this morning about 9:00am  Just love me some TVs!

Checking in on the MO TVs, good to see and read that things seem OK.  About ID for the parent birds, my resources indicate that the adult  male and female look the same and are the same size.  If someone finds an identifying visual, please post it here!

Vultures are not sexually dimorphic, which means males and females do not show any visible differences, despite their sexual organs not being the same. A DNA test is required to be tell the difference, which involves plucking one of their feathers or taking a blood sample.   so we aint going to be finding out!  i did see that feather laying over there. too bad someone cant just ask them.
