Spread My Wings

Species: California Condor | Location: Big Sur, CA, USA

By Douglas Croft

California condors are clawing their way back from the brink of extinction with the help of captive breeding programs and constant monitoring. They are still highly endangered so it is a real treat to see one up close like this. The coast of Big Sur is one of the home ranges where they have been reintroduced. This condor, "Amigo" is often seen soaring along the cliffs.

About The Photographer

I love the outdoors. The farther out, the better. Nature and wildlife photography is a natural extension of that. God created a beautiful world for us to enjoy and we haven''t completely screwed it up yet! The camera gives me a great excuse to get outside and gives me a whole new way of seeing things that I've looked at a thousand times.
