Confusion

Now I'm confused. California bias and the super-endangered status of the California Condor would lead me to consider it to be the ugliest of the condors - an honor I don't lightly bestow. But then I came across this mug of the Andean Condor. I get different details online as to which of these two birds is bigger. The Andean Condor has a wingspan of almost 10 feet!

It might just be that dinosaur-looking 'fleshy comb' that settles the debate for me.

Thanks for the photo, Mike.
