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)

Condor Viewing Area
Vermilion Cliffs National Monument
Arizona
March 2025
The Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona serves as a critical site for the reintroduction of the endangered California condor. Since 1996, The Peregrine Fund, in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and other partners, has been releasing captive-bred condors into the wild from this location.
The Condor Viewing Site is situated along House Rock Valley Road (BLM 1065), approximately 3 miles north of Highway 89A or about 27 miles south of Highway 89.
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)
Keep calm and carrion.
Built this for the ABS Builder Challenge. The seed element this round is that black fan.
The hike up to Mirador Condor isn't too bad, but it is steep in places and I could see how it could get slippery with any weather. On this morning I wanted to get up to the top before sunrise for sure, but also wanted to see if I could get there soon enough to catch the final moments of the night.
As it was a race against time I moved as fast as I could! By the time I got to the top I was tired and sweaty from the climb. In hindsight perhaps I didn't need to carry ALL my photo gear up the hill with me! :) The intense wind and cold made me pay while I was getting set up!
The slight color in the sky is courtesy of the very first hints of light from the sun off to my far right. The light was so faint it was imperceptible to my eyes on the clouds hanging over the mountains.

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.

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.

Andean condor - Vultur gryphus. Picture taken in "camino de las altas cumbres", Cordoba province, Argentina
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
