How the Condor Is Caught.

Many birds cannot fly straight M
They must rise M very gentle incline
They must get onward motion before
their wings can get full effect of the

the condor is TO build Il pen. say, forty
of fifty feet in diameter and six feet
high and put carcass in the middle
of it, The condor alights. but cannot
again rise at an angle which will take
him over the fence.
Many heavy bodied. short winged
.luckS rise from the water at so small
an angle that they must use both feet
and wings for thirty or forty feet in
order to get onward motion enough to
give effectiveness to their wings by
meeting larger masses of still air
