Soaring Vulture
This vulture was photographed at Nature & Culture International\'s Laipuna Reserve in October of 2006. It is one of the best-conserved dry forests in Southern Ecuador with 39 species of endemic birds (13 endangered), 21 species of amphibians and reptiles (two of which are possibly still unclassified), pumas, and other wildlife. A small visitor center is being constructed to allow increased scientific research and ecotourism.
