CALIFORNIA CONDOR

Looking through my BIG lens

I said the BIG lens, dummy! Not the BIG view lens.
OH, sorry, it was such a pretty sight I didn't think any one would mind.
OK, I'll run back to the car and get it.
Boy, the help you get these days is somethin else.
I only pay a buck-3-eighty an hour plus 3 squares a day, transportation, & lodging.
I guess I shouldn't complain.
Now remember, Earl will be trying to get a view'able image from over one mile away.
Plus trying to capture some of the newly released Condors flying around the cliff.
Frankly, I don't think it can be done. I see he's all ready now, so, let's see what he's got for us.

In the top center is the release pen.
How many Condors do you think you see?
*************************************************

I blew it. There are 4. I forgot to number the one in the upper right hand corner.
Number 3 bird is actually quite a bit closer than the others, I would guess a approx. a 1/4 a mile away or less.
*************************************
Bet you can't see the other 4 Condors that are perched on a big rock by the release pen?

How many birds are there, 4? Guess again.
*****************************

No not 6. Arrow 6 is pointing to part of the release pen.
These images were taken from over a mile away.

Well, we came, we saw the Condor release, now it's time to head home.
I just might check out the grass and rocks along the road side as I drive outa hear at about 1 mile an hour along Ol'e stony-washboard road.
