09-28-05 South Rim Grand Canyon
Camera Nikon D70s, Lens Nikon 80 to 400 mm VR
All images shot from quite a long distance from the camera.
******************************************
I was standing out in front of the Bright Angel Lodge along the canyon wall, the bird was up about as far as the El Tovar Lodge on a flat rock.
*****************************************
Same distance as the above photo but using a longer lens.
Nikon 600 mm with a 1.4 tele-convert on it.

Looks as if it is going to land, at least it has its landing gear down.
