About These Birds

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.

Barred Hawk

The Barred Hawk is a large hawk of the family Accipitridae found in humid montane forests on the Pacific slopes of the Andes from Panama to Peru. Weighing about 872g with a wingspan of 72.9cm, it has boldly barred black-and-white underparts and a yellow cere. It hunts snakes, lizards, and small mammals in forest habitats.
