Condors and Friends
CONDORS AND FRIENDS
A series of watercolor illustrations used by the National Park Service to share information about California Condors and some birds that share their habitats.
A comparison of the California Condor, Golden Eagle, Turkey Vulture, and Common Raven wingspans.
The heads of an adult and a juvenile California Condor.
Golden Eagle, Common Raven, and Turkey Vulture for comparison to California Condor. Feathering (or lack thereof!) plus bill shape and size are excellent identifying characteristics.
From top to bottom: California Condor, Golden Eagle, Turkey Vulture, Common Raven. Though a Condor is the largest land bird in North America, its feet are not nearly as strong as those of a Golden Eagle.
When birds are perched together, the size difference is a little more obvious.
