Condor (Vultur gryhus)PATAGONIAN BIRD WATCHING

In Chilean Patagonia it is possible to watch a variety of birds that exist only in this side of the world. Some are flying birds while other will never fly off, like penguins, rheas and others. Some species are so amazing that even our country name, Chile, is attributed to the strong sound gave out by a black bird of yellow wings that lives in our territory.
