Condors and vultures are distinct from most other terrestrial birds because they use extensive soaring flight for their daily
movements. Therefore, assessing resource selection by these avian scavengers requires quantifying the availability of
terrestrial-based habitats, as well as meteorological variables that influence atmospheric conditions necessary for soaring. In

Large-scale poisoning events are common to scavenging bird species that forage communally,
many of which are in decline. To reduce the threat of poisoning and compensate for other persistent threats,
management, including supplemental feeding, is ongoing for many reintroduced and endangered vulture
populations. Through a longitudinal study of lead exposure...
