Soaring condor

An adult Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) soars in the air currents next to a cliff above the Rio Nireguao O Coichel in northern Patagonia. The condor is the largest flying bird in the world, feasting primarily on carrion. It has near threatened status. The snow-covered mountains on the Chile-Argentina border can be seen in the background.

    What an incredible shot Terry and wonderful POV. I hope to see a Condor in person someday! I sure hope the people of that area help the Condor survive, it's such a magnificent bird.

    How great that you were able to spot this condor--at least for me, that would be a heart-stopping moment! Welcome back from what must have been a wonderful trip.

    That looks like a precarious location to be phtoographing the bird. Great shot.
