Andean Condor

Very large and very high

The Andean Condor has the 4th longest wingspan of all birds. Approximately 11 feet (3.4 m). Do you know which species have a longer wingspan? I saw several of these birds circling very high above. For five days they never got close enough to get a good shot…until finally this one ventured down so that I got a somewhat decent picture.
#3 Marabou Stork, just over 11 feet (3.4 m) #2 Great White Pelican 11.8 feet (3.6 m) #1 Wandering Albatross, just over 12 feet (3.6 m).
