Andean condors (Vultur gryphus) are massive birds, among the largest in the world that are able to fly. Because they are so heavy (up to 33 pounds), even their enormous 10-foot wingspan needs some help to keep them aloft. For that reason, these birds prefer to live in windy areas where they can glide on air currents with little effort. Andean condors are found in mountainous regions, as their name suggests, but also live near coasts replete with ocean breezes and even deserts that feature strong thermal air currents.
I was lucky enough to be in Chile earlier this year and got to see these birds high up in the Andes at around 11,000ft. They were magnificent, gliding effortlessly on the strong air currents.

You might remember this loving California Condor pair as they were truly my favorites of my Spring 2024 visit. For me, this heartwarming image completely matches their heartwarming story. L4 is the female of this mated pair. She was hatched in the wild, and she's now about 13 years old. Her partner K6 came from the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey. He's about a year older. A lady from the Peregrine Fund just happened to be in town and told me both had been treated independently for lead poisoning a few weeks apart. They were both released and happily reunited. Aren't they the sweetest with those head/neck feathers fluffed, and her loving gaze?

The beautiful Boeing 767 of Condor is seen here taxiing to the gate after arrival from Frankfurt. So great to be right beside the taxiway and see this giant bird up close! The blended winglets on the 767 are huge!
This 767 was since repainted in the "Sunny Heart" livery. I guess I prefer the new livery indeed, but the blue one wasn't bad either!

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.

A note of optimism on the first day of the new year. This juvenile California Condor represents a conservation wonder and a reason to have a little hope for the future.
The population of this species declined steadily during the 20th century until there were only 27 left. The last of the free-flying condors were taken into captivity in 1987 to avoid additional mortality and to preserve as much diversity of the gene pool as possible. Reintroduction of condors into the wild began in early 1992 and continues today, with the population of more than 330 in the wild.
Though there are still threats to the population, thanks to science and the dedication of a small group of people and organizations, their numbers continue to increase and there is optimism about their future.

The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American New World vulture and is the only member of the genus Vultur. It is found in the Andes mountains and adjacent Pacific coasts of western South America. With a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) and weight of 15 kg (33 lb), the Andean condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world, and is generally considered to be the largest bird of prey in the world. It is a national symbol of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru and plays an important role in the folklore and mythology of the Andean regions. It may live to 50 years or more, and correspondingly has low reproductive rates. Andean Condors mate for life.
The Andean condor is considered vulnerable by the IUCN and the Peruvian Conservation Organization. As a result of research on its plight, its status was changed to Vulnerable from Near Threatened in 2020, and only about 10,000 individuals remain. Hacienda Zuleta is home to one of the reintroduction Condor preserves where offspring of captured birds are reintroduced to the wild. Zuleta is home to one breeding pair, and wild condors will often pop by.

Mike Bush and I found this young condor among a group of Turkey Vultures. After it perched for 20 or so minutes on a utility line, it flew a very short distance to this perch. Later it flew out of sight. According to information on condorspotter.com, it was hatched in May, 2019 at San Diego Wild Animal Park and has been part of the Big Sur flock. That makes it 2 and 1/2 years old.
X1 seemed interested in R8 but he just couldn't seem to get in the right position. If all condors have these difficulties, I can see why population recovery efforts are slow. He is perched on her shoulders in the wrong direction.
We enjoyed watching the condors at the Navajo Bridge. They have a wing span of 9 to 10 feet and weight up to 25 pounds. They can live up to 60 years and start reproducing at about age 5 or 6. Their population was down to 22 in 1982. Extensive efforts have been made to recover the bird through captive hatching and release. R8 hatched in 2015. So he is relatively new at this and has lots of time to hone his technique!
Finally, after all these years not only did I get to see a pair, but I was able to get a photo. According to the park biologist, this is one of a breeding pair which hatched in the wild. I feel blessed at being able to see them. Zion NP
Recorriendo el Parque Nacional Huerquehue , luego de 12 horas de caminata con nuestro guía Alfredo llegamos con mis tres hijos a la Laguna Los Condores. Esta Laguna es de muy difícil acceso y conocida por muy pocas personas. La tranquilidad del lugares...impresionante , incomparable. A medida que que el día avanza , la luz va cambiando constantemente entregando nuevas imágenes a cada momento . Imposible regresar en el día, Comparto este pequeño rincón de este Chile hermosa
Captain Condor was a strip created by Frank Pepper and Ronald Forbes from 1952 onwards.
This collage is made with a scannergram and digital double exposure. Just for the fun of it:-)

This one was one of first purchased, from Luis, at the national show, held in Houston, several years ago. It was a rough agate, when I purchased it.
Taken in 2004.
The lookout at Bright Angel Point, near the North Rim Visitor Center. There had been condor sightings here earlier in the week. We saw some hawks (eagles?) in the distance, but no condors. On the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
El Templo del Cóndor es una construcción inca de Machu Picchu separada en tres bloques de piedra que, al ser unidos de forma tridimensional, forman la figura del famoso cóndor andino. Esta ave fue considerada sagrada por los incas pues comunicaba el mundo terrenal (el Kay pacha) con el mundo celestial (el Hanan pacha). Este templo es uno de los más populares del sitio arqueológico. Se encuentra en pleno centro urbano de la ciudadela.
Condor Temple
The Temple of the Condor is an Inca construction in Machu Picchu separated into three stone blocks that, when joined three-dimensionally, form the figure of the famous Andean condor. This bird was considered sacred by the Incas because it communicated the earthly world (the Kay pacha) with the heavenly world (the Hanan pacha). This temple is one of the most popular in the archaeological site. It is located in the urban center of the citadel
