摘要: We designed a system of solar-powered video cameras that transmitted images via telemetry to monitor. This allowed us study the breeding behavior Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus )i n Pyrenees (northeastern Spain). From 2000 2004, 12 nests in seven territories were equipped with cameras. To avoid disturbing birds, equipment was installed 3-8 weeks before egg-laying. The acceptance rate 75%. No decline productivity observed for monitored compared control nests. enabled document egg-laying, hatching asynchrony, nestlings' diet, and parents' from distances 2-3 km, although technical problems temporarily interrupted transmission images. Video can be used successfully Vultures, probably other cliff-nesting raptors, without reducing productivity. SINOPSIS. Videoc´
