It is an impressively large bird. And it...Probably. It is an impressively large bird. And it is a symbol of strength and power in some countries. But I read in a few places that the author based his fiction on personal observations of wildlife. So did he misunderstand what he saw, of condor behavior? or mis-identify a bird he was watching? I'm not sure.<br /><br />Apparently he was a popular author and wrote quite a few books about Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-91267579184618244052016-09-28T12:07:02.387-04:002016-09-28T12:07:02.387-04:00Huh.

Maybe people really did think that about condors back then. <br />Thistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11690194443059755509noreply@blogger.com
