Changeling (aka Charles Annen) is a wildlife enthusiast from the Western coast of the United States. We have featured many of his exquisite images, mainly featuring animals and birds that live on the Pacific coast of the US. Here our treat is a young Californian Condor. It looks like something out of dinosaur movie, but that's missing the point. I beg you to click the image above so you can find the bigger view of this image in Charles' gallery. Tho focus and the sharpness are perfect, and yet the wispy down on the back of the condor's head and neck are soft and delicate. And, as Charles points out in the title, there's that 'feather boa'. OK, so this is a grey, hardly beautiful, bird, but it's a beautiful photograph.
