What FB page? Please send the link to the San Diego Zoo/Wild Animal Park and let them know what this guy did---a lot of time and effort has been
spent to keep these birds flying.

Mistaken identity?
I don't think that is a ca condor, has no tags, and has white feathers on neck.
Ken, Perhaps you found this pic in South America?

mtgoat---come to think of it the terrain looks more like the Andes than Baja---still sad though if he killed it.

Critical thinking. No tags. Hopefully this wasn't a Cal Condor in San Pedro Martir.

Even if it is the Andes, who would want to kill such a beautiful creature for fun. Sick!

This might be an Ecuadoran Condor:

So Ken, why would you ever think it was a California Condor? They put tags on those birds big enough to read at 10,000 feet away!

Mood: Easy Birder
|
|
Everyone knows I'm a birder. I'm a bird counter and I (along with other counters) estimate the bird counts for Baja Sur are down as much as 50% in
the last two years. My counts for the Oregon Coast are down as much as 80% this year. Now, the Oregon Fish & Wildlife has issued close to 400
permits to kill Barred Owls in an "experiment" to see if this killing helps the Spotted Owl population. It's hard even for me to tell the two apart,
they look so similar and now shotgunners are gonna be turned lose on what ever looks like a Barred Owl.
The Condor, tagged or not, north or south, what a man. Having a riffle that probably shoots a mile or something like that. Bird slowly soaring and
bang, bang he's dead,dead. Makes me sick!
