Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Look Up. Spend time scanning the skies above mountain peaks and cliffs, as they are often seen soaring.
2. Listen Carefully. Their distinctive calls are often heard before the bird is seen, especially in windy conditions.
3. Visit High-Altitude Tourist Spots. Areas with cable cars, mountain restaurants, or hiking trails at high elevations often attract them due to food availability.
4. Observe Flocks. They are highly social; spotting one often means others are nearby. Watch their interactions.
5. Check Snowfields. In summer, they often forage on snowfields for insects that have been blown up by winds.
