Lesser Yellow Headed Vulture
Cathartes burrovianus
This rather small vulture species is native to Central and South America. Whilst not endangered like many Old world vultures this species like all vultures very much needs our interest and conservation mindset.
Unlike most bird species and nearly all birds of prey the Yellow Headed Vultures have a superb sense of smell; helping them to locate food even if hidden from view.
