Condor (Gymnogyps califorianus)

Description:

This one was at the top of a hill above the tree tops way on the other side of the road and was quite a ways up in the air. I used shutter priority and held down the AE and locked in the bird and hoped for the best. I normally do not use SP, but this seemed like a good time to give it a try. I was a little concerned the 51 focus points would lock on to the trees, but was pretty excited to just keep firing away and hope for the best.
