TOURISTS SPOTTED, TWELVE O'CLOCK

California Condor from the Grand Canyon; these guys were wild but were obviously tagged and tracked for population conservation purposes.

A type of Horned Owl (I forget which), this ones just from Disney.

TOURISTS SPOTTED, TWELVE O'CLOCK

I'm jealous that you got to see a condor (and photograph one). I was looking up the whole time I was at the Grand Canyon about a year ago, and no dice. How weird was it to see a giant bird?

The birds were massive, they were flying right overhead and all around one of the main overlook areas. They looked like they were big enough to fly off with a small child if they so pleased. If memory serves me right there were a good 6 or 7 of them just zipping around the rim putting on a ridiculous show that day, we got seriously lucky. There's a few more pictures in the stream of them too.
