Vulture culture: Naming contest for baby vultures announced<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

During the height of winter, two black-feathered, semi-yearly residents made their way back to their familiar haunt, a secluded corner of a courtyard on the Long Campus at UT Health San Antonio.<\/p>\n

There, on the second floor across from the Dental Hygiene Office, the mother laid two whitish eggs and has dutifully taken turns with her mate to incubate the precious bundles to ensure their safety and viability.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince they are cooperative breeders, and they take turns, it would be very hard to be a single parent if you were a black vulture,\u201d said Patsy Inglet, education and community engagement chair, Bexar Audubon South Central Texas, a chapter affiliate of the National Audubon Society. As one parent is incubating, the other finds food to bring back to their mate, Inglet added.<\/p>\n

The eggs \u2014 which typically take about 38 days to incubate, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 will likely hatch within the next few weeks. Once they hatch, the nesting period will last 70\u201398 days, according to the Cornell Lab.<\/p>\n

Last year, the babies hatched in April, drawing many onlookers to the courtyard windows to get a firsthand view of the parents rearing their latest brood.<\/p>\n

Contest to name our baby vultures<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Visiting the vulture family has become a tradition for many members of the university community.<\/p>\n

In fact, some created an informal vulture club whose members visited the vulture family in past years and provided them interesting backstories and fun names.<\/p>\n

In this spirit, a contest will get underway shortly to name the two baby vultures that will soon be welcomed into the world.<\/p>\n

Look for a future announcement in This Week<\/em> showing the new hatchlings and asking for your creative names for the baby birds. The top names will be identified in This Week<\/em> for a final vote to determine the two winning names. The winner will have their name included in this newsletter and receive a lunch for two at the Panorama Buffet<\/a>, a fine-dining experience at the Long Campus Academic Learning and Teaching Center (ALTC) with panoramic views of the campus and beyond. In the meantime, what have you chosen to name the vulture parents? If you have named the vulture parents in past years, let us know those names and how they came about by sending an email to communications@uthscsa.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Devoted to each other and their offspring<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

As monogamous birds, black vultures are devoted to their mates and their offspring, whom they feed for up to eight months after fledging, or developing their feathers, according to\u00a0Cornell Lab.<\/p>\n

Formerly on the protected species list, the black vultures have been on campus since 2020, said\u00a0Jeffrey Patterson, MBA, executive director, Facilities Management and Operations.\u00a0\u201cAlthough we could relocate them, in Facilities Management, we\u2019ve jokingly referred to them as the unofficial mascots of UT Health San Antonio.\u00a0They\u2019ve been returning for so long and bring so many people around campus happiness, we\u2019ve elected to leave them alone for the time being.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2020, the loving vulture couple has raised an estimated 10 nestlings in the quiet universe they\u2019ve carved out for themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Black vultures are] great parents,\u201d said Josef San Miguel, director of aviculture at the San Antonio Zoo. San Miguel should know. Black vultures are plentiful at the zoo, where he\u2019s seen their devotion firsthand.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The nestlings are] very dependent, but it builds a very strong family group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As omnivores, black vultures frequently dine on carrion, or animal carcasses, such as feral hogs, poultry, cattle, donkeys, raccoons, coyotes, opossums, striped skunks and armadillos. They will also catch small fish in shallow water or feed on floating carrion, according to the Cornell Lab.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can eat things that would kill other organisms,\u201d Inglet said. \u201cThey have a very strong acid in their stomach. They can survive anthrax and botulism and other bacterial diseases that would kill other creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything they ingest is going to turn into liquid, and so they regurgitate to the baby,\u201d San Miguel said, adding that meat is their primary food of choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey eat just about anything,\u201d San Miguel said, adding that they even like popcorn and hot dogs.<\/p>\n

San Antonio: A sought-out destination for black vultures<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Black vultures are bountiful in San Antonio, likely because of the city\u2019s moderate temperatures.<\/p>\n

In fact, they live at the zoo throughout the year, San Miguel said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey love our giraffe area,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a beautiful area \u2014 I call it Club Med \u2014 and they just love hanging around. They bathe all day. I mean, it\u2019s just like a resort for them. There\u2019s food, the sun and that beautiful pool out there [that] the giraffes share.\u201d<\/p>\n

They especially seem to enjoy the springtime, San Miguel said.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s hard to determine if they migrate from San Antonio during the later part of the year, San Miguel said some seem to migrate further south, toward the coast.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the respect?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

As members of the Cathartidae family, a group of seven species of New World vultures found in the Americas, black vultures are estimated to number in the millions, according to the Hawk Mountain Global Raptor Conservation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their role as nature\u2019s cleanup crew is especially vital for the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re kind of the Rodney Dangerfield of the bird world,\u201d Inglet said. \u201cThey don\u2019t get enough respect for what they do. They help clean up the environment of carcasses. We\u2019d be knee-deep in dead things if the vultures were not active. The faster you take a carcass off the landscape, the less chance [diseases] spread.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite some misconceptions, black vultures are quiet and go about the business of keeping the ecosystem clean.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t make a lot of noise,\u201d San Miguel said. \u201cThey do play and you can see them enjoying themselves out here at our zoo at any given time. They don\u2019t go after people for any reason. They\u2019re just here doing a service and doing their thing every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

The baby vultures are here!<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

And the winning baby vulture names are\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The university community has spoken!<\/p>\n

With more than 250 votes submitted, the top baby vulture names are… Rigor and Mortis.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the first person to submit the winning names, Robert Burns, MD candidate, Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long School of Medicine. He will receive a lunch for two at the\u00a0Panorama Buffet<\/strong><\/a><\/span> \u2014 a fine-dining experience at the Long Campus Academic Learning and Teaching Center \u2014 and a UT Health San Antonio-branded backpack.<\/p>\n

The first runner-up \u2014 who submitted the names Rigor and Mortis after Robert Burns \u2014 is student Brianna Martinez. Frances\u00a0Maldonado, CCRP, from the Department of Pediatrics, was the second runner-up with the second-most popular names \u2014 Floyd (Curl) and Louis (Pasteur). Both will receive a UT Health San Antonio-branded computer bag and\u00a0Bluetooth speaker.<\/p>\n
