I found none of these on a recent trip to gather vibrant plumes. Only bears and spiders in the area of map shown as being populated... so, they must not be all too common here.

I only saw ! 2 ! of them spawning at the area...

There are 2 carrion vultures flying around the area, one north to the road and one south to the road.
The area is not so easy, bears and spiders attack you also 3-4 at once.
This animal is interesting to hunters for dive 3 and screech 3 abilities. Take into account that taming him is difficult, because of bears and spiders and because of interrupts he does to the taming process.

This is a tough bird to tame but here is how I did it at 51:

Used "Track Beasts" to figure out the Vulture's patrol
Jumped on mount and rode through mobs till I found a "dead" spot where I wouldn't aggro spiders/bears
Threw down freezing trap
Began taming the vulture after he had passed by and was a good distance away

I didn't need any special gear and I just used aspect of the monkey. He got in one hit and didn't interrupt me. Maybe I got lucky, but it was a piece of cake.

In addition, even though there's only 2 of these, they seem to have a 100% drop rate for 1xThick Black Claw and 1xBloodshoot Spider Eye so if you're on the Spirit Totem quest make sure to slay these if you spot them!

The greys they drop sell for 10s and more at the merchant, except the beaks.

From what I could tell, only 2 of these, one north of the road, and one south of the road. Not much for farming.

Surprisingly difficult tame.

#1 As stated by others, it's a very limited spawn, maybe 2 at a time in different areas, in the general vicinity of The Bulwark.
#2 They fly a route, like a patrol.
#3 They range from L50 to L52, so even if you find one, it might not be the right level.
#4 There's tons of bears and spiders in the area that are abnormally aggressive and will wander into aggro range.
#5 This bird has a stun, which will break your tame.

Your best bet, is to be patient. Watch the route first. Then set up a good ambush along the route. Clear the area with a disposable pet. Of course, set a freeze trap someplace good. Concussive Shot, then start your tame to give yourself a couple of extra seconds. Hopefully the trap will last long enough, and you won't be bothered any bear or spider respawns.

These guys have both level 3 Screech and Dive. Pretty efficient... I'm trying to get Spiteflayer for the 1.2 attack speed, but I guess this guy would be a good consolation prize if Spiteflayer never shows.
