Great pics. The shot of the Condor reminds of the time we camped and hiked for four days up in SPDM park. The whole time I was hoping to check the species off my life list and was supremely disappointed at never seeing one as I had heard that they were frequently spotted. The next week when we returned home I saw an article in the local paper about how they had just re-released the birds after having caught them for study and to update tracking devices. We did not see em cuz they weren't there. :P Have to get back up there soon!

Wiles got it right, just talked to the head of the condor project he said the pic is red tailed hawk, adult dark phase
