Condor Watch Talk

Is this the new record for condors in a photo?

  • wreness by wreness moderator

    If you're up late, can't sleep, have a monitor the size of a doorway, Super Hero Eyesight or are as tenacious as crabgrass - this could be a record for most condors in a photo - I counted 30!

    Give it a shot and see what you get.

    The previous photo found by @mapat had 29 (maybe). The previous record before that was 25. This gets to be a delicate balance of butts, elbows, heads, backs and feet so while it may be impossible to be 100% correct, it's still a LOT of condors in one place.

    Post your results!

    I'm no help - I blew the pic up, circled each bird/bird part/bird-ish areas and put them with their respective owners as best I could and came up with 31. Still better than 29, though! Very cool 😃 Kudos!

    O.k. so lets think about the alternative facts: Maybe two of them brought an imaginary friend!

    This is incredible! I counted 29, but like you say, very hard to tell! It's really too bad they didn't implement some kinda 'liking'/ upvoting scheme in the comments. I wanted to like all your comments 😕
