Cóndor andino Adulto!!! Que imponente que son , con sus tres metros de distancia de una punta de una ala a otra, es el ave terrestre más grande de América !!
El cóndor es un ave grande y negra, con plumas blancas alrededor del cuello y en partes de las alas. La cabeza carece de plumas y es de color rojo, pudiendo cambiar de tonalidad de acuerdo con el estado emocional del ave. A diferencia de la mayor parte de las aves de presa, el macho es mayor que la hembra.
Es carroñera. Alcanza la madurez sexual a los cinco o seis años de edad y anida entre los 1000 y 5000 m s. n. m., generalmente en formaciones rocosas inaccesibles. Posee una tasa de reproducción muy baja; se espera que al menos ponga un huevo cada dos años. Es una de las aves más longevas, pudiendo alcanzar la edad de setenta y cinco años. Provincia de Córdoba

With this image, my flickr stat's show that there are over 2 millions views as of today. I will never know which image was the special image, so based on this photo's placement I will use it to mark this notable occasion.
The "3' wing tag indicates that this is condor 523 and he is the father of the newly fledged Condor number 1000.

No trip to Arizona would be complete for us without visiting the California Condors of Marble Canyon. Though still critically endangered, the population of California Condors has grown steadily from a low point of just 22 birds in 1982 to over 500 today, more than half of which are flying free in the wild.
This one was photographed hanging out on a bridge 467 feet above the Colorado River. Not the ideal setting, but hey...it's a California Condor.
The condor is one of the most spectacular geoglyphs on the Nazca site.
The Nazca Geoglyphs (or Nazca Lines) are large figures drawn on the ground, often stylized animals, sometimes mere lines several miles long, visible in the Nazca desert in southern Peru.
These geoglyphs were made by the Nazcas, a pre-Inca civilization that flourished between 300 BC AD and 800 AD. There are more than 800 geoglyphs registered.
The ground on which these geoglyphs are outlined is covered with pebbles that iron oxide stains red.
By removing them, the Nazcas brought out a grayish gypsum soil, thus cutting out the outlines of the figures they were tracing.
Several theories have been put forth to explain the existence of these geoglyphs.
Notably, the German mathematician Maria Reiche, who devoted most of her life to archaeological study and preservation of the site, claimed that these geoglyphs would form a huge astronomical calendar.
According to another theory, the geoglyphs represented places of worship and places of activity where the Nazcas walked during ritual processions.
In the trapeziums, the whole space was a processional space. In the linear figures, the Nazcas returned and followed the line to the exit at the other end.

Le condor de Nazca
Le condor est un des géoglyphes les plus spectaculaires du site de Nazca.
Les géoglyphes de Nazca (ou lignes de Nazca), sont de grandes figures tracées sur le sol, souvent d'animaux stylisés, parfois de simples lignes longues de plusieurs kilomètres, visibles dans le désert de Nazca, dans le sud du Pérou.
Ces géoglyphes ont été réalisés par les Nazcas, une civilisation pré-inca qui se développa entre 300 av. J.-C. et 800 de notre ère. On en a recensé plus de 800.
Le sol sur lequel se dessinent ces géoglyphes est couvert de cailloux que l'oxyde de fer colore en rouge.
En les ôtant, les Nazcas ont fait apparaître un sol gypseux grisâtre, découpant ainsi les contours des figures qu'ils traçaient.
Plusieurs théories ont été émises pour expliquer l'existence de ces géoglyphes.
Notamment, la mathématicienne allemande Maria Reiche, qui a consacré la majeure partie de sa vie à l'étude archéologique et à la préservation du site, prétendait que ces géoglyphes formeraient un immense calendrier astronomique.
Selon une autre théorie, les géoglyphes représentaient des espaces cultuels et des lieux d'activité où les Nazcas marchaient, lors de processions rituelles.
Dans les trapèzes, l'ensemble de l'espace était un espace de procession. Dans les figures linéaires, les Nazcas rentraient et suivaient la ligne jusqu'à la sortie à l'autre extrémité.

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.
Adult on top, younger bird lower left. Condors are very social, and there is a certain hierarchy, such as the higher position. It was obvious, though not so much in this photo, the bird lower down risks a potential poop shower.
The bit of orange on its face indicates this bird is nearing maturity. Fully mature condors have a mottled orange head.
It's on a frequently used perch on the wall of Marble Canyon in Arizona.
I'm going random for the next week or so. Will be posting whatever I feel like every morning.
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)
Sarah and I used the practice paper for the origami cranes. And it's a damn good thing because they turned out to be condors instead of cranes. And we laughed and we giggled and I couldn't stop and I almost peed my pants. So Boba came in to save the day and wrangled some condors for us. Seems he's not only a bounty hunter!
