Chile, South America
The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is a South American vulture found in the Andes mountains, and along the Pacific coasts of western South America. It 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 can attain a maximum wingspan of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) and weight of 15 kg (33 lbs). They are primarily scavengers, inhabiting large territories, and often traveling more than 200 km (120 mi) a day in search of carrion.
This one comes in to feed amongst the Caracaras that have already gathered near the carcass of a guanaco.
