Detalhes da observação

We drove to the location along Spyglass Road where I had seen a condor earlier and saw then flying low overhead. We got out of the car and by this time there were nine perched in nearby trees. A short time later they all left their perches and landed on the ground downslope from the road. We slowly walked over to the bank and saw them feeding on a male deer carcass whose antlers were in velvet. The carcass was about 20 ft from the road and we were about 35 ft from the carcass and birds. As they fed, they pulled on the carcass and when we left at about 11:30 am, the carcass was about 60 ft from the road. We watched them for about one hour and recorded the following banding information. Band color refers to the background color. 4. Purple 11 red 12 green. First year bird 27 purple. First year bird 55 yellow. May have had radio telemetry device attached to tag. 57 white 62 white 63 black 67 white 74 blue 76 black 72 green 80 white 83 white 89 yellow 87 white 93 white. Had radio telemetry device attached to tag. 90 black 96 black We came back to this location at 2:30 pm and the deer bones were scattered down the slope and were picked clean. I have more photos and videos.
