"General", William Finley's pet condor
(Gymnogyps californianus) at his home in Oregon known as Jennings Lodge. "He loved to sit, with wings spread wide to the sun and watching life on the river. Almost daily a turkey-vulture sailed overhead, turning to look at him, not quite understanding why he stayed there. The crows, with a pretense of alarm, perched in the willows and alders near by, or cawed raucously down at him as they sailed off towards the tall firs. Casting a weird and gentle eye about, he sat as in reverie, watching every movement..." - William Finley.
