Soaring


This is a shot of a large bird that was soaring beneath me at the Grand Canyon one day. The jury is out on whether it is a juvenile condor or a vulture, they are almost indistinguishable at this stage of development.  This guy had a tag and was quite large so I am pretty sure that he is a condor. He was quite beautiful, no matter what genus he belonged to.

  1. How do you get these shots? Did the bird tip you off? Very nice image.

  2. Just lucky I guess. I took a host of nice shots of this guy but this one is my favorite because he was below me and the rim at his point. Thanks for the compliment.
