'California condors might be missing from your life list, but Mark Rauzon of Laney College sighted five condors within close range 5 miles south of Big Sur on Highway 1 at pullouts near a sea lion colony. “At least five condors were seen each day, flying low, high, perching in trees and on cliffs.” This is the same spot where I filmed a TV segment for close-up shots.' -- Tom Stienstra- SF CHronicle 4/8/12
