Fly High, Young Condor! From Captivity to the Grand Canyon - A Success Story!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a remarkable journey of resilience and triumph. Meet CAN-2291, an adventurous young male California Condor who defied all odds! Raised in captivity with tender care, he now spreads his majestic wings across the vast wilderness of Arizona's Grand Canyon-Vermillion cliffs area. With its impressive 9.5-foot wingspan, this endangered species soars effortlessly on thermals as it explores its newfound freedom. Look closely at those striking wing patches – they serve as unique identifiers for each individual condor in their close-knit community. CAN-2291 is not just any bird; he represents hope for conservation efforts worldwide. These magnificent creatures have made a comeback from near extinction and are now breeding successfully in the wild! Feasting exclusively on freshly killed carrion, our daring protagonist prefers the grandeur of large mammal carcasses. Talk about having refined taste! Did you know that these monogamous birds pair up for life? Love truly knows no bounds when it comes to our feathered friends! And don't underestimate their wanderlust – they can cover over 200 miles in a single day! So let your imagination take flight alongside CAN-2291 as he embarks on thrilling adventures through Arizona's desert landscapes. Celebrate this incredible success story and marvel at nature's wonders captured by John Cancalosi's lens!
