I was going through some of my old shots and found this one and thought I would share it. Not a great shot, but I liked it! California condors are the largest land bird in North America with a wingspan of 9 1/2 feet and weighing up to 22 pounds.

Thanks Reigh and Waussie. I know its not a great shot of the birds, but I was really excited to get to see them while we were hiking the rim trail.

You can clearly see the condors in this shot with a huge expanse of the Grand Canyon, I think it's a great shot, good work, well done.
