THIS is a REAL Californian

A couple more from the Wild Animal Park before I move on to other things.



The talons of a California Condor.



The head of the above condor. He's got a definite "don't mess with me" look.
Here is a related picture of my husband and older daughter.

il vaut mieux rester a reculons devant ce genre d'oiseau...

J'étais heureux d'avoir une barrière entre moi et lui. Je suis désolé si le Français est mauvais. J'ai dû utiliser un traducteur parce que je sais seulement quelques mots.

Do condors have large talons? (don't answer this, I was just making a reference to Napoleon Dynamite) Love the photos.

Great shots! Ugly bird! At least its head is. Its a cool ugly though (I don't want any condors coming over to rough me up for disparaging them on the Internet).
