4. We had a condor harass us during our Grand Canyon trip

We were backpacking down a tributary on the North side heading towards the Colorado and the bottom of the canyon. A condor, wearing a numbered tag, kept flying into camp trying to steal food. We had the kids chase it away from the backpacks by tossing sticks and small rocks at her. We reported it when we got back to the rim and heard later that they had to recapture her. They retired her to the captive breeding program because they figured that she was too used to humans to let free again. She was probably given food by other tourists and lost her fear of humans. When she spread her wings - wow!
