At one point there were only 22 California Condors in the whole world. Now over 500

They can fly up to speeds of 50 miles an hour (thats as fast as my car)

They can live up 60 yrs

truly special species, so happy for them and for us

Angora, Thank you
They are the largest and rarest birds in the world. At one point there were only 22 on the planet. Now approximately 500. Thats why this was so special for me.

Glad you liked those 2, always amazes me which ones people pick for favorites. They are all my favorites, thats why I posted them, but #1 and #10 maybe a little more. The one with the moon in it knocks my socks off! It's not a photoshop but a real unedited photo.

Like I said, probably my most gratifying photoshoot. So happy for them and us
All the Best___Joe

Thank you Addy
You are correct, you probably have seen some before because what I did was post my album of them. Now you have seen the whole album. Have plenty more, I've gotten lucky and seen them there 3 separate times. Marble Canyon and Navajo Bridge are on the way to Utah's 5 National Parks.

Page, Arizona calls itself "Gateway to the National Parks". Sometimes I go via Page, Sometimes by way of Kanab, Utah.
Yeh me 2, imagine how impressive seeing them in real time is
Take care___Joe
