A scavenging bird that spends most of its time in warmer climates was rescued in Bar Harbor on Thursday and will likely spend the next few months recovering before getting released back into the wild. The black vulture was taken to Acadia Wildlife Center, a local rescue organization, where it’s being nursed back to health. Doug Hitchcox, staff naturalist for Maine Audubon, said Maine is seeing more and more black vultures as the climate warms.
