During our Spring Break 2017 trip through Utah and Arizona, Bob got this photo of a beavertail cactus in bloom. Notice a little fly on one of the petals.

California Condor over Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona
Bob was just looking through his folder covering our trip during Rick's spring break in 2017 and came upon this image of a tagged California Condor flying over Horseshoe Bend near Page, Arizona. Condors have been reintroduced to the Vermilion Cliffs area in northern Arizona and this female is probably from that reintroduction. You can see the tags on this condor on the front edge of each wing. Also, on the left wing, on the right as you look at this photo, you can see the antenna of a transmitter. This condor was Number 53, which turned out to be a five-year-old female, according to The Peregrine Fund researcher that we ran into later in the trip.Not that long ago, only 22 condors were left in the world, but thanks to captive breeding and reintroductions, there are now over 200 in the wild.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
