I did a google and found this picture of the stuffed animal condor I bought at the Navajo Bridge visitors' center. This stuffed condor was made to honor Condor #119 which wore the patch #19 on her wing. Condor #119 was mated to Condor #122 and lived in the Grand Canyon area and had the first confirmed condor baby in over a century - Condor #350. Many other eggs were laid, but none survived. This condor family were favorites in the Grand Canyon area for several years. In 1997, Condor #119 was found dead, with lead in her body. Condors are an endangered species.

We have California condors. Near my home is a convalescent center. We used to always cringe when we would see the condors resting in the trees above the convalescent center. Remember, they only feast on carcasses...
that Fablehaven book looks interesting, what's it about? Do you like it?
I really like the Fablehaven book and will probably buy some more when I come to the States in Dec. I haven't seen them here in Ireland yet. It's about a girl and boy who have to go stay with their grandparents while their parents are on a cruise. They hardly know these grandparents because they've hardly ever seen them. The rest you'll find out if you read it, but yes, it is about fairies, etc. Really cute and more interesting than I thought it would be. This author writes really well, and guess what else? He's Mormon. He's in Psychdoctor's ward? Is that right Inklings?
Yes, Dr. Psycho knows him. I need to read those books.
That Condor is so cute.
