This dramatic picture book with panoramic and close-up watercolor views of California condors portrays the flight, nesting and hatching of these birds, an endangered species. The flight of a condor above the mountains and valleys leads to a cliffside cave where its mate guards a single egg. Through the long night of a thunderous storm, while rocks fall from above, the two birds care for the egg. With the sunlit beginning of the day, the birth of a new condor takes place. Following the story, "More About Condors" provides a historical and factual perspective about the condor, the rarest and largest North American bird, the causes of its endangered status and a listing of organizations that provide information about condors and their recovery program.
