Friendly Condor

Personal memory by Ludmila Moran

1996San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro, Argentina

When I was a child, I used to travel with my parents a lot from north to south of Argentina with a car. One time We went to Bariloche - Rio Negro, and we had the opportunity to watch a beautiful Andear Condor on the roof of a house. It was a great experience because we could contemplate different poses of the bird with its wings extended. The Andear condor is a south American bird, and a national symbol of Argentina. This bird is considered near threatened by the IUCN. There are programs to help these birds.
