A lifer for my hubby and I!
This California Condor flew about 25' above our heads at a pull-off vista along the Big Sur.
....and these 2 shots were capture by my hubby on the G12. Sigh....

The California condor is one of our nation's most magnificent birds, with wings spanning an amazing nine and half feet!
The California condor population steadily declined during the 20th century until there were only 22 known to exist in the world.
The last of the free-flying condors were taken into captivity in 1987 in order to save the species from extinction.
There were no California condors in the wild between 1988 and 1991, but reintroduction efforts began in early 1992 and continue today.
As of May 2013, there are approximately 435 California condors in the world, about 237 of which are free-flying in California, Arizona and Baja California, Mexico.
