Hi Sara, for more on the condor, see: http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Condor. A drawing of the Andean condor is also found on that page. The national bird of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador, the Andean condor is found in the Andes Mountains of South America, a map of which can be had at: http://encarta.msn.com/map_701510113/Andes.html and at: http://www.public.asu.edu/~kintigh/asb223/ho_andes_map.pdf
