Book Description
With their featherless, wrinkled heads, vultures may seem funny-looking. When they soar in the air, however, vultures are as graceful as any bird in the sky. The California condor, a type of vulture, is magnificent in flight.

Vultures are birds of prey, which are also called "raptors." Like other raptors, vultures have curved claws called "talons," and sharp, hooked beaks for tearing apart prey. But they differ from other raptors in one important way -- vultures are scavengers. Almost all of their food is carrion (the bodies of dead animals). ... Read more

From the supplier: A study was conducted to determine the relationship between group density and foraging size in the Turkey Vulture. Birds in the Biosphere Reserves in Durango, Mexico, were observed for their foraging abilities. The foraging group size varied for different populations. This indicated that factors other than population density affected foraging group size. These factors include the feeding behavior and the availability and size of carcasses of the prey.
