I planned a quick trip to 1.5 mile after work, but was delayed for a looong time by a group of bighorns and some condors by the first tunnel. Tore myself away eventually and made it to second tunnel. Came back up and found the birds and sheep still there. Enjoyed chatting with some nice folks about the condors.
#33 and #87 - a mated pair, I believe - were hanging out on a cliff. #30, a young male was right at the tunnel and was just as curious about us as we were about him. He also tried to eat a brochure, but it slipped down the slope - he pursued it a bit, and sent some rocks rolling down to the trail below.
#30 is a three year old male. #87 is a 14 year old male, and #33 - who is a big show-off - is a 16 year old female ... and the last survivor of the first Arizona release.
Magical day.
