Description

<p>A vagrant Cinereous Vulture Aegypius monachus was observed in the Kitakami Mountains, Iwate, Northern Honshu, Japan, on December 2, 2015. This is the first record of this species in Iwate Prefecture. During a three-month period after the original observation, the vulture was observed alone six times, at five locations in the Kitakami Mountains up to 50 km apart. At least two of six vultures observed were inferred to be the same juvenile individual.</p>
