Ornithologist Jerry McGahan is pictured with a 6 month old Andrean Condor, the largest flying bird on earth. Photographed by the Helen and Franck Schreider.
Another version of this photo made it to the cover of National Geographic.
Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
