9407einP Andean Condors

We were thrilled to have several sightings of the Andean Condor, but most were of them circling high in the sky. These were atop a hill at quite a distance from us. This is the best shot I could get.

 

With a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) and weight of 15 kg (33 lb), the Andean condor is one of the largest flying birds in the world, and is generally considered to be the largest bird of prey in the world. They are considered to be in a vulnerable status.

 

The female is in front, the male is partially seen behind her.
