Mrs. Reinbold and intern Scott started off the experience by showing us the wingspan of the California condor, which is the largest bird in North America. Mrs. Reinbold explained to us that California condors are often confused with turkey vultures, but that the white inverted right triangles on the underside of the wings of condors are what differentiate them from the common turkey vulture. Condors are also substantially larger than vultures, and generally live in foothills, cliffs, and mountains.
