Seeing condors in Grand Canyon National Park-- Armed with the long - TopicsExpress



          

Seeing condors in Grand Canyon National Park-- Armed with the long lens (100-400mm zoom) lent to me by my son-in-law, we boarded the free shuttle westward to join a second that took us along Hermit Road to Hopi Point, where we hoped to see California Condors. At Hopi Point, we had a magnificent view of the formation known as Battleship Rock. We then walked the trail along the rim westward to nearby Powell Point, where we met "Condor Bob" George and another researcher. Bob was busy answering questions about the huge birds, which are raising one chick in a cave on the west side of Battleship Rock. The next afternoon, expecting only landscape photos and also to save weight, I left the telephoto lens back at the RV as we went sightseeing on the shuttle bus to viewpoints along the eastern part of the National Park. We returned earlier than expected, and made an unplanned visit to the El Tovar Hotel overlook. As soon as I looked down I saw three California Condors far below. rosy-finch.blogspot/2013/07/seeing-california-condors-in-grand.html
