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)
My last attempt at the Condor was *checks notes* six years ago.
Geez, really? Six years?
Anyway, it was time to revisit.
This new version is shaped a little more like the original toy and includes all the bells and whistles. Even the tiny little headlight cannon.
HSC Condor Rapide is a fast ferry operated by Condor Ferries. Launched in 1997, she was initially chartered out as a civilian ferry, then became the first large catamaran to enter military service when she was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy as HMAS Jervis Bay (AKR 45) from 1999 to 2001.
In 2002, the catamaran was sent to Europe on charter, operating with Italian company TRIS during that year, before being chartered by SpeedFerries for its Dover to Boulogne-sur-Mer service. Renamed HSC SpeedOne, she operated on this route until she was impounded by French authorities in late 2008, as the company had failed to pay taxes. SpeedFerries was placed into administration shortly after, and the ferry was laid up until 2010, when she was purchased by Condor Ferries and renamed Condor Rapide.

The Andean condor is a massive bird of prey that lives in South America. It is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight and wingspan. It is generally considered the largest bird of prey in the world. The Andean condor is part of the New World vultures, a group of birds more closely related to storks than to the vultures of Africa.

Templo del Cóndor en el Santuario Histórico de Machu Picchu, Provincia de Urubamba, Departamento de Cuzco, Perú.
El “Templo de Cóndor” demuestra la habilidad del trabajo inca con las piedras en su posición natural. Ubicado sobre una cueva aprovechando la roca viva de la montaña, pudieron rendir homenaje a una de sus deidades: el cóndor. sobresalen en esta construcción una formación que fue adaptada y moldeada para ser las alas de un cóndor, debajo de ellas en el suelo, una enorme piedra tallada forma la cabeza.

Layers and light of the Torres Del Paine Range taken late in the day. very high wind speeds made this shot incredibly difficult to take, even with my sturdy tripod!

Era temprano en la mañana, hacía frío y nos esperaba una larga caminata por delante, cuando de entre las nubes aparecieron dos grandes Cóndores, curiosos dieron varias vueltas sobre nuestras cabezas, y luego se perdieron en la distancia. Entre que saque la cámara y tomé la foto ya casi se habian escapado...
ENGLISH: "The Cóndor´s flyby..." It was a cold autum morning and we were facing a long walk ahead, when suddenly two large Condors showed up flying between the clouds, after several minutes circling above us they ended up disapearing in the distance. In the time it took me to get the camera to take the photo, they were almost gone...

Here's another from my AZ loop in March 2024 to see the California Condors. I still have 1800 images left to work through, but this stood out as a huge favorite, especially after I had ID'd the two as a mated pair, from other images. A previous post told their precious story. What a joy to see them fly together, and let's not forget the 9-foot wingspan. So flying together, that's like 18 feet vertical in this image. K6 the male, L4 the lovely female.

Tive a felicidade de poder fotografar o Condor Andino (Vultur gryphus), também conhecido como Condor dos Andes ou simplesmente Condor. Este é um macho, pousado em uma escarpa do Lago Argentino, em El Calafate, Patagônia Argentina, aos pés dos Andes. Tenho também uma foto dele em pleno voo.

The nest had been abandoned but was still full of feathers. Miss Moriko made herself a crown to hide her from the condors and then settled down for a little sleep in her new home <3
