To give you on idea of the scale, you can see a raven flying above and to the right of the Condor in the photo below (it looks like a small black spec).
This one was just below us on a ledge- those wings are massive.

A Rare Giant in the Grand Canyon
The California Condor is the largest -and rarest- bird in North America. In 1987 there were just 22 of these giants left in the wild. Their wingspan averages over 9 feet in length and their habitat is just a tiny area of Arizona and California. Ari and I were stunned to see FOUR of these birds flying over the Grand Canyon last week. The see one would be amazing but 4 was just mind blowing.
