The Maze (1998)
“When the others started flying, around 10:00 A.M., Maverick moved from the rear of the pen to the front, stretched his neck excitedly, opened his beak wide, and started wagging his tongue. After running back and forth along the fence a couple times, he realized that the wire door was open.
Beating his wings, the condor hopped and ran down the slickrock ramp outside the pen and made a short flight to a boulder that was perched on the very edge of the cliff. No more than a minute passed, with Mav...erick eyeing the condors soaring above, before he bent at the knees, spread his wings wide, and launched himself from the cliffs.
Rick and Lon ran around the side of the release pen in order to see what the condor was going to do. Rick was hoping that he didn’t make another beeline across open country toward the Colorado River.
He didn’t.
Maverick rose with the air rushing up the face of the cliffs, flapped a couple of times, then began to soar higher and higher. Instead of flying toward the others, who were a quarter mile north along the cliffs, the condor kept rising, flying up and up in great spiraling circles that reminded Rick of Lon’s flight with the bald eagle.MoreLess
