Voted 10/10 | How did you manage to shoot it? At a kind of feeding place or was the bird just hanging around by the trail? | | Posted Feb 25, 2009 6:16 am |

Voted 10/10 | condor number -6. Or, if you turn your head
upside down, you get 9-.
Either way, it looks like this bird is having
fun watching for "road pizza," and keeping the
high desert clean!! | | Posted Feb 25, 2009 11:11 am |

Hasn't voted | Larry, this is very good question I found some info on Condor marked AC-9 (In 2002, Adult condor #9 (AC-9), along with three year-old juveniles, was released into the Sespe Condor Sanctuary near the town of Fillmore, California. AC-9 was the last free-flying California condor captured for the conservation breeding program. As of December 2008 there are 327 individuals living, including over half of them in the wild...interesting. There was lots of money spend by US to keep these alive. | | Posted Feb 25, 2009 2:28 pm |

Hasn't voted | This one is the sharpest from all I had in my camera. It is possible than this one is the one you took. By the way there is lots of interesting stories about these birds on the internet. | | Posted Mar 4, 2009 8:27 pm |
