Fly High, Young Condor! From Captivity to the Grand Canyon - A Success Story!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we witness a remarkable moment in the life of an immature male California Condor. This endangered species was first reintroduced to Arizona in 1996 and now proudly breeds in the wild within the breathtaking landscapes of the Grand Canyon-Vermillion cliffs area. With its majestic wingspan measuring an impressive 9.5 feet, this young condor soars effortlessly through the desert skies, showcasing its unique wing patches that help identify individuals within their flock. Raised in captivity, this adventurous bird has successfully transitioned into a free-spirited creature thriving on freshly killed carrion. While these magnificent birds primarily prefer large mammal carcasses for their feasts, they are also known for their monogamous nature and lifelong partnerships. With a potential lifespan of up to 60 years in the wild, this individual has countless adventures ahead as it embarks on journeys spanning over 200 miles per day! As our feathered friend gracefully rides thermals above Arizona's vast wilderness, let us celebrate this incredible conservation success story. The California Condor's return from near extinction is not only a testament to dedicated efforts but also serves as a reminder of nature's resilience and our responsibility to protect these rare treasures. Join us on an awe-inspiring journey through America's deserts with John Cancalosi’s stunning photograph – capturing both the beauty and triumph found within our
