10FT!! Bloody hell, thats nearly 2 of me in wing span. Condors remind me of vultures.
Birds in general always look quite small when you see them in flight or even on TV/pictures because they're such a distance away. I'd love to see birds of prey close up. I've only seen some of the smaller falcons and giant owls nearby.
Eagles can dive at 10 miles per hour (the bald ones) and they can see up to distances more then a mile. Wow.
Thanks Yacov. I can't imagine how anybody could take that photograph.

Condors are the same family as vultures. This thing I saw was like a hang-glider!

At least mice and fish, will get a beautiful view and a trip of a lifetime before they're eaten. :)

I think they favour dead stuff, but those Andean condors could carry a grown full grown goat or a human child if they had to!

I saw a bunch of seagulls up close this past summer. I fed them pretzels at Jones Beach.
