Mit diesem Rabengeier / Black Vulture wünsche ich euch eine gute Nacht.
Er gehörte zu einer Gruppe von Geiern die ein totes Gürteltier am fressen waren.
Das Gürteltier wurde vermutlich durch Hunde getötet. Hunde sind einer sehr große Bedrohung für die Säugetiere in der kolumbianischen Anden. Es sind keine wilden Hunde, es sind die Haus und Hofhunde, die Hütehunde, die auch so umherstreifen und dann Jagd auf die Säuger machen.

"Death of a nation: Black Flags, #massacres, land grabs as #vultures feed on the carcass of #Syria" by #PepeEscobar

"In a nutshell: this is the #NATO/ #Israel combo demilitarizing the former Syria – with not as much as a peep from anybody in the Arab world and the lands of Islam, starting with the Black Flag killers that have taken #Damascus." (Sitrep follows)

Rodenticides are a deadly, and in many places, growing problem for both predators and scavengers. A study out today in the Journal of Raptor Research shows that even after a statewide ban (with a huge agricultural exemption) on anticoagulant rat poison in California, turkey vultures are still being exposed. Important not only for the vultures themselves, but for other species that are harder to monitor, including endangered condors.

#Vultures are good.

A "culture vulture" would be someone who takes a cultural meme or item that is either unneeded or harmful, and makes into something new and useful. Like a great cover of a forgotten song.

A "vulture capitalist" would be someone who runs a truly circular business, making money by reducing waste and making a cleaner, safer world.

I will rest and stop posting forever when these terms are compliments, and not before.

I would 100% make a visit to Makanda, Illinois for their annual Vulture Fest, an arts and music festival that also celebrates the arrival of migrating vultures into the area. I hope I'm in the Midwest in October sometime, because not many towns have vulture-themed festivals, and I want to give them money for it.

Southern Illinoisan Makanda Vulture Fest celebrates art and natureA large gathering will flock to Makanda this weekend for Vulture Fest.

The Yurok Tribe's wildlife office has announced that the last two California Condor releases of 2024 have been successful. A8 and A9 are both young males, and were both hatched and raised at the Oregon Zoo in Portland.

These two make 18 total Prey-go-neesh (their Yurok name) in the skies over Yurok land.

The tribe's IG post has more details: instagram.com/p/DAuMTYqSHu3/?i

InstagramYurok Tribe on Instagram: "The last of this year’s condor cohort have been released! A8 (California Condor Recovery Program Studbook ID 1117) and A9 (Studbook 1126) took flight the morning of October 4th, 2024. These birds, both 2.5-year-old males, were hatched at Oregon Zoo’s Jonsson Center. With their release, there are now 18 condors flying over Yurok territory and the surrounding areas. These birds were originally going to arrive last year and be released with the 2023 cohort, B0 (Studbook 1140), B1 (Studbook 1148), and B2 (Studbook 1151), but were delayed due to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) vaccination efforts, so the Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP) were unable to release them last year. They were released into the flight pen on August 29, 2024. They integrated well with the other birds in the release pen, and after receiving their final vaccine boosters and radio and GPS transmitters a few weeks into their stay, they joined the rest of the free-flying birds upon the end of their acclimation period in the flight pen. Both birds left the trap early in the morning of October 4th and joined other free-flying birds in feeding at the release site. Crew will be closely monitoring these two birds in the coming days and weeks as they build up necessary flight skills and fully integrate with the flock. With the conclusion of the release season, our Mentor bird, Paaytoqin (Studbook 746) will be departing on Monday, October 7th, for a new assignment. Condor releases will continue in 2025. Please follow along on our livestream to watch the free-flying birds when they visit the release site to feed, bathe, and socialize. The Northern California Condor Restoration Program is a partnership between the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks.
