EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, a California condor, male number 50, gazes intently at the camera against a backdrop of pure black. This critically endangered bird of prey was brought into the Phoenix Zoo after suffering a dislocated right wing at the wrist, an injury sustained from flying into the Navajo Bridge in Northern Arizona. Once on the brink of extinction, with numbers dwindling to just 18 individuals in the 1980s, the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) now numbers over 300. The California condor is a rare and magnificent creature, with its distinctive orange and black feathers and powerful, hooked beak. As a scavenger, this raptor plays a vital role in the ecosystem, cleaning up carrion and helping to prevent the spread of diseases. In this studio shot, the condor's plumage is showcased in exquisite detail, with the vibrant orange feathers contrasting beautifully against the black background. The California condor is a federally endangered species, and this portrait is a testament to the efforts of conservationists and zoos in preserving this magnificent bird for future generations. The condor's intense eye contact adds a sense of intimacy and connection, making this portrait a true "greatest hit" for wildlife photographers and animal lovers alike. Taken by renowned wildlife photographer Joel Sartore, this portrait captures the essence of the California condor's strength and resilience, despite the challenges it faces in the wild. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the beauty and diversity of the natural world. This portrait is a colorful and captivating addition to any collection, evoking the spirit of the American Southwest and the rich wildlife that can be found in the United States. Whether displayed as a standalone piece or as part of a larger collection, this portrait is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for all who see it.
