The majestic Bearded Vulture, also known as the Lammergeier (Gypaetus barbatus), is a sight to behold. With its impressive wingspan and striking appearance, this bird of prey captivates all who encounter it. In January, amidst the stunning landscapes of the Pyrenees in Spain, an adult Bearded Vulture soars gracefully through the sky. Its distinctive bearded face and powerful wings make it a true icon of these mountains. Another breathtaking moment occurs when a Bearded Vulture takes flight against the backdrop of an out-of-focus moon. The sheer beauty of this scene leaves one in awe of nature's wonders. Traveling further north to Switzerland in February, we witness yet another incredible sight - a Bearded Vulture soaring above Leukerbad in Valais. Its elegant flight showcases its mastery over the skies. In Italy's Gran Paradiso National Park, a young Bearded Vulture spreads its wings in Valle dell Orco. This protected area provides sanctuary for these magnificent creatures, allowing them to thrive and enchant visitors with their presence. Returning to Spain's Ordesa National Park, we are treated to another glimpse of these remarkable birds as they navigate their way through rugged terrain. Their ability to adapt and survive in such challenging environments is truly admirable. Looking back into history, hand-colored lithographs from 1880 depict Birds of Prey including the Lammergeier/Bearded Vulture. These artistic renderings serve as reminders that humans have long been fascinated by these extraordinary creatures. Chromolithographs featuring Bartgeiers showcase their unique coloring patterns while colored engravings from 1833-39 highlight their association with other fascinating species like Electric Eels. Dating even further back to 1805-1821, hand-colored engravings portray Gypaetus barbatus Sonnini or simply put -the Bearded vultures- showcasing the enduring interest in these birds throughout history.
