In this collection of black and white photographs, we catch a glimpse of the majestic Aegypiinae species in various corners of the world. The first image takes us back to 1927 at London Zoo, where a near threatened Eurasian Black Vulture stands proudly, its dark feathers contrasting against the monochromatic backdrop. Another snapshot from the same year showcases another Eurasian Black Vulture, reminding us of their vulnerable status even then. Moving on to Spain's Castile-La Mancha region, we witness the grace and power of the Cinereous Vulture as it soars through the skies. Its massive wingspan dominates our view, leaving us in awe of nature's wonders. Uttarakhand, India also becomes a stage for these magnificent creatures as they perch on rocky outcrops or glide effortlessly above mountain ranges. Not limited to Europe and Asia alone, North America welcomes its own avian marvel – the Turkey Vulture. Captured in Baja California, Mexico, this vulture displays its distinctive red head with pride while contributing to ecological balance by scavenging carrion. Lastly, we encounter an intriguing sight at Alpine Zoo Innsbruck in Tyrol, Austria – the Lammergeier or Bearded Vulture. With its unique appearance characterized by tufted feathers around its beak and neck resembling a beard-like feature (hence its name), this bird captivates visitors with both curiosity and admiration. Through these snapshots frozen in time across different continents and eras, we are reminded not only of their beauty but also their vulnerability as near threatened species. Let us cherish these remarkable birds that play vital roles within ecosystems worldwide before they become mere echoes from history books.
