About this site

The Veekly Vulture is a newsletter and blog launched in March 2026 by science and nature writer Ian Rose. Every Friday, I'll send out a curated list of news stories, scientific papers, artwork and more about the 23 best species of bird on the planet, the vultures and condors.

Always human - Never AI

Every word of this site is written by me, on a keyboard at my desk or on my laptop in the field. I will never use any large language model or other AI product to produce or edit any part of it. All errors here are human, and they are mine.
