Vulture Week 2015!

August 30, 2015 in Vultures with 1 comments

It's that time of year once again -- time to celebrate the world's vulture species. The first Saturday in September marks International Vulture Awareness Day and to honor this event we are going to be talking about vultures on our blog all week long!

To start off the week, here are some vulture highlights from last year's Vulture Week celebrations.

We kicked off last year in a similar fashion. Check out our previous vulture wrap-up post here: Vulture Week: Introduction.

We profiled the magnificent Andean Condor and the unusual Palm-nut Vulture.

Many vulture species face population threats. We listed a few of them here: Threats Facing Vultures.

We answered some Frequently Asked Questions About Vultures.

And finally, we ended last year's Vulture Week with some vulture humor.

Join us this week as we highlight the world's vulture species, vulture biology and other fun vulture topics in the coming days! We're excited to gear up to celebrate another International Vulture Awareness Day!
