About (12)Today I went to Big Sur to look for the California Condor.
This species was extinct in the wild, but thanks to the Ventana Wilderness Society is making a comeback. Since 1997 they have been re-introducing these guys and currently there are 18 Condors roaming free. Early this morning and afternoon they were feeding upon marine mammals carcasses along the Big Sur coast and seems like they are adapting very well to their natural environment.
It?s breathtaking to watch the North America?s largest land-bird flying above your head. They can reach 9-10 feet wingspan and weigh up to 25 pounds.
This shot is dedicated to Jessica Koning and her team for their efforts in preserving and protecting this wonderful and majestic bird of prey.

Hi Yamil,
These things must be fantastic to see up close. I remember the first time I saw some dumb turkey vultures at a dump and I thought they were huge. These must be twice as big.
