THE BIRDS OF PREl OF THE PUNJAB. 266 



Tlie wings, like a vulture's, are held in a line with 

 the body. When quartering a hillside he will be 

 frequently found to fly with his wings half closed, 

 and they will then appear very narrow and long, the 

 end of the long primary feathers reaching to almost, 

 or quite, to the end of the tail, the points frequently 

 lower than the level of the body. 



T have never seen a Lammergeyer actually feed- 

 ing on a carcase with vultures, though he is never 

 far away from it while they feed 



After the vultures leave, he attacks it bt 

 before they arrive in any numbers, he gets, a few 

 tit-bits.
