About These Birds
Aguja
The Black-chested Buzzard-eagle is a large, powerful hawk of open Andean landscapes and adjacent lowlands in South America, from Colombia south to Tierra del Fuego. It has a distinctive dark grey breast and blackish upperparts contrasting with white underparts barred with grey. It inhabits open and semi-open country including grasslands, shrubby hillsides, and forest edges, feeding on rabbits, rodents, and other medium-sized vertebrates.
Bartgeier
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.
