The King Vulture (Sarcoramphus papa) is a large bird found in Central and South America. This vulture lives predominantly in tropical lowland forests stretching from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.

Large and predominantly white, the king vulture has gray to black ruff, flight, and tail feathers. The head and neck are bald, with the skin color varying, including yellow, orange, blue, purple, and red. The king vulture has a very noticeable yellow fleshy caruncle on its beak. This vulture is a scavenger and it often makes the initial cut into a fresh carcass. It also displaces smaller New World vulture species from a carcass.

King vultures were popular figures in the Mayan codices as well as in local folklore and medicine. Although currently listed as least concern by the IUCN, they are decreasing in number, due primarily to habitat loss.

I’m Miguel aka “Siu”, a 38 years old, self-taught photographer who took up photography in 2012. Since 2014, I am specialised in wildlife photography, mostly arthropods, birds, and other land animals, and founded Panama Birds & Wildlife Photos (www.panamawildlife.net), a non-profit organisation promoting conservation of Panama's biodiversity through education and photographic material. I was inspired as a child by David Attenborough's documentaries, which nurtured my love of nature and wildlife. My process is to simply photograph what I find in my travels, all pictures are of free and wild animals, unless noted. Feeders, blinds, or hides are very rarely used.
