Not sure what I would've done, but for certain I wouldn't condemn or belittle you. You have a heart of gold, and went more than the extra mile.

I’m not a fan of black head vultures. They will kill newborns and eat the back end out of a female animal in the process of giving birth.
Red head vultures only eat carrion. They don’t kill newborns or the moms giving birth. My grandpa called them turkey buzzards because of their red head.
That said, I fully understand and support you for trying to save the vulture. Sometimes the best we can do just isn’t good enough, but we have to try.

I guess I can see you feeling sorry for it... but NOPE... a black headed vulture will not ever ever get a chance of being saved by me. Had them eat the "a$$ end " of a calf that was recovering from scours... in my BARN.... had about 15 or more of them after a first calf heifer that had just given birth and the daughter staying in the house there at the nurse cow pasture, took the 4 wheeler down and kept them away until I got there, She called me and what should she do, and I was on my way home from work... so she saved the calf...
Like @Baymule said, turkey buzzard, yes.... black headed one NO WAY....
