Wow, we got to see a California Condor perched on the rim of the Grand Canyon. What are the odds of that? There are only about 185 in the wild, coming back from the brink of extinction through a captive breeding program. You can see from the photo that he wears his number proudly.
Also shown here are a lovely and fearless squirrel, a molting and rather shaggy elk, and a cocky raven. Again, the signs about cougars are everywhere, but they are nowhere to be seen.
The human wildlife at the canyon is also very interesting and about half foreign right now. We were surprised at the number of Japanese, Korean and Chinese travelers. One day, we were the only Caucasians on the shuttle bus! Germans were also present in great numbers, and Dutch, Spanish, Indian, French, and many languages we couldn’t identify.
