Normally associated with Pinnacles NP, California condor 692 (and other Pinnacles regulars) were among the many wild birds that showed up at the VWS sanctuary in Big Sur earlier this month when I was lucky enough to be there too.

California condor 1238, a wild fledge from a nest in the park in 2023, sporting his "forever" tag that he received 3 weeks ago, hanging out in the High Peaks yesterday afternoon.

From a couple of weeks ago, one of 2024's wild fledged untagged juveniles flying around the High Peaks area with the late afternoon sunshine illuminating the leading edges of those tag free wings.

California condor 966 Pixchi (seemingly) plays with a feather yesterday in the High Peaks part of Pinnacles NP.

The condor recovery program is already being hit by the capricious and arbitrary firing of federal staff, losing qualified, passionate folks along with their domain expertise.

Formation flying!

Things lined up just right to capture this photo of 726 Little Stinker and 966 Pixchi as they cruised around the High Peaks area of PNP a few days ago (3rd member of their trio, 692, was in the area too).

Call me biased, but as fun as it was to watch those Eagles touchdowns on Sunday, I don't think anything can beat a good California condor touchdown!

Featuring condors 692 & 966 Pixchi.

California condor 646 Kodama makes a close head height fly by as she leaves the scene of a seafood buffet, with a full crop and a slightly goopy head, sure signs that the buffet below was well stocked.

From yesterday, the late afternoon sun catches California condor 692's head just right as he looks out from his perch atop the High Peaks.

California condor 970, a female from the Pinnacles flock, takes evasive action as she's pursued through the skies of Big Sur by 957. She's been attracting a lot of attention recently from the eligible bachelors in the flock as breeding season is in full swing. #californiacondor #ieatdeadthings

California condor 1019 Jane goes for a bit of a hike as the sun goes down over the High Peaks last week at Pinnacles NP.

I'm going to try posting my condor photos on here too (usually they're on IG and shared to FB) - to see if there's an audience for them here.

California condors 892 Vincent, and 646 Kodama share a redwood tree on New Year's Day.
