Grand Canyon National Park - Condors- We saw some California Condors flying in the canyon. These birds have a wingspan of 9 feet. That's 9 FEET! They're huge! The condors are an endangered species and were on the verge of extinction by 1970's, with a population of only 22 birds. They've been working for decades to increase the population and reintroduce them into the wild. I believe they now number about 300 birds. It was amazing to see 5 of them sunning on the rocks of the canyon.
