At the vista point just north of Julia Pfeiffer Burns SP are two life-size mosaics of animals that can be seen often from the spot: a Gray Whale with calf and a California Condor. Both were in view today - several Condors circling above the headlands and quite a few Gray cow and calf pairs spouting not far offshore, already heading north from warm calving waters in Baja.

Yesterday was #NaturePhotographyDay, so I thought I'd check on the local Bald Eagle nest since I hadn't been there in a while. I saw the two chicks, but only got a brief, faraway glance at one of the adults.
But there was an added bonus. One of my fellow eagle-watchers told me he had seen two California Condors–an endangered species–perched on a rock outcropping not too far away. So I took a break from eagle-watching in search of condors. I found them, and as you can see from the photos, they have numbered tags on their wings. Since condors are so rare, researchers like to be able to follow specific individuals, hence the numbers.
A friend send me some information she had found online about these two condors. No. 23 [1127] was hatched March 27, 2022, at the Oregon Zoo and released into the wild not far from where I saw her in late 2023. No. 37 [1137] was hatched at the L.A. Zoo on April 24, 2022, and also released in San Simeon.
They were pretty far away, so the photos are heavily cropped.
Andean condor - Vultur gryphus (male and female, both juvenile). Picture taken in "camino de las altas cumbres", Cordoba province, Argentina
The canyon is home to the Andean condor, commonly referred to as the "Eternity Bird," as the bird is a symbol of long life and eternity. If you come at the right moment of the day, 'Cruz del Condor' is a stop to view the condors. At this point the canyon floor is 1,200 metres below the rim of the canyon.

The Andean condor is considered endangered but is in far better shape than its California cousin. Perhaps a few thousand South American birds survive, and reintroduction programs are working to supplement that number.
These long-lived birds have survived over 75 years in captivity, but they reproduce slowly. A mating pair produces only a single offspring every other year, and both parents must care for their young for a full year.

Cuando comenté en ESTA FOTO ºTebanº me dijo ACA: Tincho.·.·. hola! esta está sacada con el 50mm fijo, por eso el tremendo desenfoque... a probar ese pentax, querido!
Al leer esto no tuve mejot idea que hacerle caso y poner el gran angular de 35mm manual que trabaja como un 50mm y probar con la maqueta del Airbus A-340 de Aerolineas Argentinas, como no estaba conforme con los resultados me puse a jugar con papelitos delante del flash hasta que probe con un plastiquito simil carey que filtro la luz amarronada hacia la maqueta y reboto la luz hacia el fondo y el efecto es el de la foto!
Gracias ºTebanº!!!
California Condors are the largest wild birds in North America. The wings are exceptionally long and broad, with long primary feathers giving a fingered look to the wingtips. In flight the body is noticeably bulky, the head appears small, and the tail is short and broad. Adults are black with striking white patches under the wings. The naked head and neck are yellowish orange. Immatures have dark heads, grayer necks, and mottled grayish instead of clear white patches under the wings. Adult coloration is reached at 6-8 years of age.
Time for a smoke during the point to point race meeting at Milborne St Andrew.
I think this gentleman lost his bet in the previous race and decided to enjoy a "condor" moment.....(from the TV ads a long time ago)

L3 is strutting on a girder at the Navajo Bridge, looking for some action with the male condors flying around. The Navajo Bridge is one of the release sites for captive bred condors.
Captive breeding has increased the numbers of the California Condor from a low of 22 birds in 1982 to around 500.
The California Condor grows 46 to 52 inches in body length and up to 9 1/2 feet in wing span and weigh 17 to 26 pounds. They may live to be 50 years old.
Lead poisoning is their major threat. They are considered nature's cleanup crew as they eat only dead animals. Lead fragments from bullets poison them.

The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American bird in the New World vulture family Cathartidae and is the only member of the genus Vultur. Found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America, the Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan. It has a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) (from Wikipedia)
