Social Experiment?

Vultures tend to hang together in social groups.  If you only see one, it is usually because the rest just haven't come into sight yet or they are spread out over a large swath of land and it actually isn't flying alone.  They dine together and sleep together and, it turns out, they also bathe together.  This is the only time I have ever seen black vultures take a bath.  They entered the water by two's and three's, wading up to their bellies and splashing around like any other bird.  I really didn't think they took baths.
