I didn't get that feeling, we were pretty far away. But there were cars lined up all over the place to see them, and people I talked to said it is like that every day. I'm sure the birds are pretty used to it!

It feels different to see an endangered animal, doesn't it? I felt kind of like I was intruding in its domain when I saw my first Condor in the Grand Canyon.
