On a roadtrip on RT 1 just south of Big Sur in August of 1999 I snapped these shots of a Condor floating on the updrafts over the surf and cliffs at a turnout of that beautiful road. I could almost read the tag number on the bird as he/she floated gently back and forth over the area. What a spectacular thing to see in the wild.
