Topic: Eurasian Black Vulture

	Eurasian Black Vulture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eurasian Black Vulture (Aegypius monachus) is also known as the Monk Vulture, the Cinereous Vulture, or just the Black Vulture.
		This bird is an Old World vulture, and is not related to the New World vultures which are in a separate family Cathartidae.
		It is therefore also unrelated to the American Black Vulture despite the similar name and coloration.

	Vulture - MSN Encarta
		The American vultures are superficially similar to large birds of prey, but are probably more closely related to storks, with which they share some anatomical and behavioral features.
		The American vultures also differ from the Eurasian group in that they have longitudinal, perforated nostrils without a partition and lack a voice, due to the absence of a syrinx.
		The Andean condor is classified as Vultur gryphus, the turkey vulture as Cathartes aura, the American fl vulture as Coragyps atratus, and the California condor as Gymnogyps californianus.

		Vultures in the region appear to be a grave risk, from an apparently contagious and catastrophic disease that nearly has eliminated populations of long-billed and Indian white-backed vultures in the Indian subcontinent.
		Vultures are declining in many parts of the world.
		In all aspects of their life history, including foraging and feeding, bearded vultures are less gregarious than the other vultures in Georgia, and when bearded, griffon and cinereous vultures are found at the same carcass, the bearded vulture is dominated by the others.

		The Egyptians considered the vulture to be an excellent mother, and its wide wingspan was seen as all-encompassing and providing a protective cover to its infants.
		Many vultures are endangered and conservationists decided to breed some in captivity for 20-30 years in order to protect and make the species larger; these conservationists are trying to get enough birds into a protected area before they all disappear.
		The one species of vulture that is the closest to extinct is the slender-billed vultures.

		A few Black and occasional Red Kites, several Common Buzzards and sundry kestrels kept us looking, though a Great Bustard flying past led to the discovery of five more in their extraordinary white pom-pom displays, impressive even at the huge distance we were looking at them.
		Raptors were also very evident, including Black and Griffon Vultures and a fine pair of Short-toed Eagles which showing their underside patterns beautifully as they glided and hovered at height.
		Black Kites made the first of their numerous appearances of the day, as did the first of a good number of Red Kites.

	BirdForum - lapped faced vs asian black vulture
		As far as i understand the asian fl vulture is slightly larger.
		They both dominate their respective Gyps species (White backed Vulture and Rupell's Griffon for Lappet-faced and Eurasian Griffon for Eurasian Black) at the carcase, both are tree-nesters rather than cliff-nesters and both tend not to be colonial.
		I suspect that they are too similar to be able to co-exist and I don't know of any area where there is geographical overlap (perhaps they may previously have met in North-West Africa however Eurasian Black is effectively extinct as an African species though the odd bird may wander from the nearby increasing Spanish population).

	Accipitridae
		Many well-known bird types like hawks, eagles, kites, harriers and Old World vultures are included in this group.

		The osprey is often placed in a separate family Pandionidae, and the New World vultures are also usually now regarded as separate.

		The first three of these are mostly found in the north & west, with the remaining three mostly in agricultural areas of the east, all along with a host of other species.
		The river valley cliffs in the south are also noted for several species, including resident Peregrine, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Black Wheatear and Red-billed Chough amongst others, along with probably the highest concentration of White Storks, those these can all be found in other parts of the province too (though are sometimes rare).
		Finally, in simplistic terms, the remaining notable suite of species are those of mid- and upper-level montain areas, some of which are found here at the extreme southern edge of their respective distributions.
