Flight of the Condor

From Colca Canyon we went high into the mountains to where the Condor soars. This mighty bird has a wingspan just below the Wandering Albatross and longer than the North American Bald Eagle.

We were rewarded with sightings of this endangered bird by sitting and watching for hours.

                                                                ...and takes flight.
