This guy was up by Angels Landing in Zion. Was really hoping he would fly away, but no. Was really cool seeing him this close.

Thanks guys :) Wasn't the best of lighting, it was going in and out of blue sky and grey. Was just happy getting the ones I did.

Wonderful to see these amazing birds in person. I like the angle.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

The one time I saw one, was at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon....and she was one that really had no desire to fly away even when a crowd of 30 people started to gather around. I think they are the most unique looking birds. Great shot!

Great shot, especially at 200mm! He must have been close! Tell him not to enter any aviary beauty contests, though :lol:
