from the nature of its claws to carry
its prey away.
In the air the condor presents 4
beautiful appearance, with Its enor-
nous spread of wing, its perfect
grace and ease of motion It's DOW
er Of soaring is one of the most re-
markable phenomena in bird-life. 1t
appears to move about at will, rarely
using lis wings except to recover it
in this way. The writer has seen the
condor in the Sierra Madre region of
southern California, where they oc-
casionally come down and alight in
the big live oaks OF the valley, and has
observed them so far above these
mountains that they were but specl,s
of black against the blue sky, and
must have been nearly two miles above
the sea. Even at this extraordinary
heig hit it is said that they can distin-
guish their prey. So unerring is their
vision that it has been supposed that
the bird sought its food by the sense of
smell; but sight Is in all probability
the secret.
The great bird is yearly becom ing
rarer. 1t is shot whenever seen, be-
ing valued at from fifteen to twenty
five dollars for its skin. The herders
have a wholesome fear of it. So now
it is restricted to the high mountains,
and will soon be a story Of the past
