Col du Soulor is a good place for observing the migration of diurnal raptors. But the pass is also very interesting because of sedentary species such as Ягнятник and Сип білоголовий. Very present on this site is also Беркут and it is possible to see Стерв’ятник білий here too. In the surrounding forests you can also see very interesting species of passerines such as Шишкар ялиновий, Горихвістка звичайна or even Кам’янка звичайна.
