C. microfusuns was courtiny out on the rocks right where waves + spray come pouring in but we avoided the water by flying up the rock further at just the right moment. They were walking + picking among the seaweed, mussels, + barnacles. Also near the beach from the road we saw 1 condor, 3+ some Coragyps, 1 Geranoaetes.
