I think we’ve had these images before, but since naturalcynic expressed dismay at the lack of close ups of the condor, here’s the next smaller bird I have to offer: Norbert, a European griffin vulture.

I do not remember seing them before and they are magnificent.
Wow! Those photos are gorgeous. ( I don’t remember them either.)
Very stately.

Looks like a very intelligent bird.
