Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature beyond nesting data. The species is assessed as Least Concern. Nesting records indicate a platform-style nest (type PL), with incubation lasting approximately 29 to 33 days …
Bearded Vulture
The Bearded Vulture, or Lammergeier, is a spectacular high-mountain raptor found from the Pyrenees and Africa to Central and South Asia. Adults are orange-buff below, dark above, with a long diamond-shaped tail and striking beard of dark bristles below the bill. Uniquely, it feeds almost exclusively on bones, dropping them from height onto rocks to access the nutritious marrow.
