LAND BIRDS. 
CONDOR. 
The Condor inhabits the Andes of South 
America, always choosing its residence 
on the summit of a solitary rock. It ap- 
pears that this bird does not make any 
nest, but lays its two white eggs on the 
bare rock, after the manner of many sea- 
birds. It is a very large bird, and is ex- 
ceedingly strong and tenacious of life. Two 
Condors will attack and kill the llama, or 
even the puma; for by their repeated 
pecking they weary it so that it yields to 
their perseverance.
