I was on the cliffs of the beautiful Mendocino coastline just north of San Francisco California. There were many ravens flying around then suddenly a California vulture appeared. When you first see these enormous birds your breath is literally taken away! I think he/she was riding the air currents, so I excitedly made attempts to capture the large wing span against the ocean below but I think the ravens were annoying him as he/she quickly disappeared.
