More about Mabla (216)

by H. Rayaleh and M. McGrady

As noted in an early post, Mabla (logger Id=216) appears to be a floating Egyptian vulture, and does not have a fixed territory.  Recently it has settled into the area around Hayu, Ethiopia.  It appears that Hayu is a small collection of buildings that service people and businesses moving between Ethiopia and Djibouti.  These places seem to be good for scavengers like Egyptian vultures.  Back in 2013, the vulture we were tracking (Assamo) spent time at a similar road side settlement near Ali Sabieh https://egyptianvulturedjibouti.blogspot.com/2013/06/
