Eerie photos show flock of vultures circling over Manhattan

Eerie photographs show a flock of vultures circling over New York as the city continues to be ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The birds of prey were spotted flying across Downtown Manhattan Friday as The Big Apple's coronavirus death toll reached 7,890.

Three of the vultures were snapped over the top of the USNS Comfort - the hospital ship brought to the city last month with the aim of providing relief for overflowing hospitals.

The photos were made all the more ominous by the fact the city largely lay empty behind the birds as they circled the gray and gloomy sky.

Pretty common sight around here. Rats are one of their favorite foods. No rats in NYC., amirite?
