Caption

Evan R. Buechley releases an adult Egyptian Vulture in Armenia after tagging it with a satellite tracking device (visible on the back of the bird). This device will allow detailed tracking of the movements in order to investigate where this endangered species is breeding, feeding, and migrating. Such technology is important for identifying critical habitat for the conservation of endangered vultures.
