Putting my self in a position so that I could view one of trails down into canyon
I found some condors in a trail side tree watching the tourist go by.
HEY, look up here, we're just above your head.
#350 & #73 in a dead tree trail side on the Bright Angel trail to the bottom of the canyon.
The following images were taken using a 600 mm lens plus two 2X & a 1.4 teleconverter so they won't be to sharp.
I am going to guess the distance to the trail from my camera is approximately one half to 3/4 of a mile or more.
***************************************************
Don't they ever look up?
******************************************
I just can not believe it. Less than 15 feet away and they won't even look up at us, what JOLT!
************************************
I do believe that #80 is going to feed the new condor #350
*******************************
Yep, I just knew it, and #80 is not the parent of #350.
**************************************
After getting fed by #80, -4 flew down to the trail side and perched in a tree
less than 20 feet from the trails edge and staid there
until Mike the condor tracker went down a shooed it away.
They don't like the condors coming into close contact with humans.
********************************
Boy; I'll tell ya; what that -4 won't do to get some attention.
******************************************
It was late in the day now & these two have decided to settle in for the night.
