Egyptian Vulture (Fantasy Forest Story)

"Despite a somewhat rough reputation, the Egyptian Vulture tries to keep a regal bearing in everything it does, including flying. Rather than waste energy in ungainly flapping, this august animal hangs around pockets of warm air, where it can glide effortlessly on its spread wings without moving a muscle. On a sunny day, the Egyptian Vulture can stay aloft like this from sunrise to sunset, wheeling in grand circles in the sky."
