Again, departing from IBWOs for the moment to other birds back from the brink...
The below page has photos of released California Condors recently found feasting on a beached gray whale in Big Sur, California -- quite a banquet! (...and somewhat humorous seeing them parade around with their number-identifying tags on in full glory, but otherwise may not wish to view it while downing your morning coffee and bagel!):

And some further explanation of the photos is available at this listserv post:
