California condor...Ugly, ugly
KANAB, UT - - We've been on the road through scenic high desert country with no cell reception and no wi-fi. On of our first stops after leaving Flagstone was Navajo Bridge over the Colorado River. In about 12 previous visits we haven't spotted any California condors which hang out in the area. Tuesday, we saw three with one either used to people who cruise the walkway OR it was scouting out a nice snack.
In any event, the bird sat on the bridge railing eye-ing us as we eyed the huge vulture. The condor can sport a 9.5-foot wingspan and is considered endangered along with his Andean relative. And talk about being ugly...
