[augdog]

I been have these large black birds in my area.They probably twice the size of crows. I can not think of their name.

Black vultures? Got any pics? Kind of hard to help without more info (like pics).

I mean, it's kind of like saying, "I saw a bird in my yard today. It had feathers. Anyone know what it is?"

Yes, it was an either a sparrow or a bald eagle.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe a tufted titmouse. (Not really. I just like saying titmouse.)

You guys making fun or what?

 

[augdog]

They look like the large turkey vulture.

Yes we are! But you didn't give us much to go on, other than you have seen some big black birds.

Turkey Vultures are much bigger than twice the size of crows. Are there ravens around this area yet ?
I know they are all over out west, and they are about twice the size of crows.

Black vultures are smaller than Turkey buzzards, so maybe that is what the OP saw.

A Raven looks like a Crow but larger.
About the size of a Red Tailed Hawk.

No ravens in Indiana. Black vultures are the delinquents of the vulture world. They have been know to pull weather-stripping off boats and cars. Darn hoodlums.

Same could be said about Colts at on time also.
But yet they are here, and they flew here in the dark.
Now on a serious note, you think a Black Vulture looks like a Crow?
Funny looking head on a Vulture.
Just because a birds natural habitat is not Indiana, doesn't mean one or 100 arn't here.
Gypsy Moths, Emerald Ash Borer, Zebra Mussles, Mute Swans and a host of other animals habitat is not Indiana, but yet they are here.

Thanks, I needed the help.
It should have been named Arma-Possum Apex Predator.
