About
One afternoon we hiked up a steep ridge on the opposite side of the valley from Mount Fitz Roy. My knees were getting pretty sore, so I told Tim to carry on to the top while I sat down on a little knoll about 3/4 of the way up the ridge to relax and wait. I was rewarded when two Andean Condors flew past me at eye level and I was able to observe them perched in the crevices of the cliff to my left. I am no expert at shooting birds, but after 10 years of travel in South America, this was my first condor siting, so here it is!
