California Condor ?

[NM_Birder]

We got an alert that there are California Condors that were seen on a bridge in Northern Arizona ?

Sounds made up, anybody else hear this ?

1. California Condors have been introduced to the Grand Canyon

It could be true.

I plan on going to the Grand Canyon to see them some time.

2. Good luck.

I spent a week at the Grand Canyon trying to find one, and I have still never seen one. I hope you do better.

6. That is about the time I was there

but we stayed on the North Rim. I don't recall any condor talks.

I bet it was magnificent to see them. Such huge birds!

7. This was on the south rim - very magnificent - one flew very close overhead.

3. 4 years ago when we were about 100 feet from the visitor center at the Grand Canyon, a

condor flew straight up into the air in front of us all as it rode a thermal from the canyon below. We all nearly fell on our asses from surprise and awe. They are HUGE. On that day, I also saw a giant tarantula cross the walkway as we walked along the canyon rim, also right near the visitor center. It was quite a visit.

4. They have been released throughout the canyon

Several hang out around the Navajo Bridge
