Now that would be frigging cool!

You know... I would think the range of those
could easily be more than 100 miles.
I've watched Turkey vultures spiral on
the thermals when I've been a passenger
and could keep my eyes on where they were drifting,
and man, can they ever travel... and that's
with barely twitching a wing...
can they ever zoom along.

oh to be a condor...

Big birds. 10 foot wingspan...

The magnificent thunderbird
California condors are one of the largest flying birds. At one time there were thousands of them in the wild, ranging across the western United States and into Mexico. Native American tribes have great respect for the condor and see it as a symbol of power. They call it the thunderbird because they believe it brings thunder to the skies with the beating of its huge wings.
