What kind of vulture is it?

[HAB911]

10. black vulture, Coragyps atratus

quite prevalent here

11. Very cool!

We have a lot of turkey vultures here. I'd love to find some California Condors too.

12. Oh yes, a Condor would be the holy grail of bird photos for me

[Grumpy Old Guy]

13. Me too.

I know of two places where they are known to appear. I've been to one of the places twice with no luck so far. The other place is about three hundred miles away, but it's on my bucket list.

14. Good luck!

Looking forward to seeing some great shots!
