California condor-03071

The California condor is one of the rarest birds in the world. It has a wingspan of 9 1/2 feet and he flew within 12 feet of my face for this photo. A few times, he flew so close he almost brushed me with his wings.

 

I had 9 Condors flying far and near and landing on the cliffs too. The ones that came the closest approached me from behind. So I wasn't aware til they went overhead.

 

You know you're a birder if someone yells, DUCK." And you look up.
