Description

Shown are juvenile birds. Underway are plans to re-introduce this bird in other areas.

Identification

Californian Condor (Gymnogyps (Vultur) californianus)

Range: North America: Once probably widespread in the western USA but by the 1980s confined to the foothills of the Coast Range and Sierra Nevada of California. In 1987 the last wild bird was captured to join the 26 other surviving specimens in captivity in an attempt to save the species. Birds are now being released into the wild once again. Habitat: Gorges and rocky canyons in chaparral and pine-covered, dry mountains. Photographed at the Grand Canyon, Arizona

Let's hope that there are more successfull fledging of these almost extinct great birds

I SAW CONDORS! WOO-HOO!

I saw at least 1 condor in AZ, and probably 2 more in UT. Not good sightings, but I saw 'em. Awesome bird! Keep on flying, don't go extinct on us now!
