On July 31st Jayne and I drove from Monterey down to the area called Big Sur and visited the Andrew Molera State Park. Our main reason to visit this area, was to see the fantastic scenery (including the famous Bixby Bridge) and to try and catch up with one of the world’s rarest birds, the California Condor. We did manage a very distant view of this species (very high up above the park), but also saw several other species, namely Acorn Woodpecker, California Thrasher, Turkey Vulture (15+), Band-tailed Pigeon (heard, but not seen), Dark-eyed Junco, California Scrub Jay, and Song Sparrow.
