Himalayan Griffon

35°32'11.53"N 101° 2'13.42"E -- This was a group of grounded vultures. I don't know what, exactly, they were gathered around; but at one point one of them seemed to discover a hunk of meat (hence the picture of it coming toward us with its wings outstretched; it's hopping toward the meat). There were eight vultures in total, and three Tibetan magpies to boot. I came upon them at about 9:50am near to the road. ----------------- In the distance behind them, you can see the orange sand dunes of the formidable desert sandwiched (perhaps not for long) between Guinan and Longyangxia reservoir. -------------------------------- Many thanks to glacierworks.org for letting me borrow their camera to take these shots!
