Experience the life of the condor, the world’s largest flying bird, through the unique perspectives of an ornithologist and a para-glider pilot. The film will show how the condor can glide through the air in the most extreme conditions and how they select which air currents to use for reaching their heights. Follow the para-glider pilot as he learns to improve his own flying and shares what he knows about the Andean condor. Jim and Leslie Smith will introduce the film and share some of their experiences in Northern Patagonia while on two guided expeditions with the ornithologist and guide, Lorenzo Sympson. Although Jim and Leslie did not para-glide, they enjoyed birding with the guidance of Lorenzo in northwestern Patagonia.
