After doing some reading on the US Fish and Wildlife site, I now know that you, HM, were privleged to see an incredibly rare sight that day. Did you report this encounter?
According to what I've just read, the captive bred condor population (which accounts for all but nine of the surviving birds) are known for being curious and unconcerned around humans. In fact, they apparently were known for this behavior even when there were ample numbers in the wild prior to their endangerment.
