Exciting news. I was living in Southern California from the mid-80s to mid-90s and remember the condor breeding program and initial releases well! It is always great to see this kind of restoration succeed. And what magnificent birds they are!

Me too! I used to attend the annual Condor Watch and Tequila Bust (before the breeding program started), and knew the first captive breeding program director, Lloyd Kiff.

This was such a treat to read today. With the constant barrage of terrible things happening, reading this gave me joy. Thank you for this.

I do hope Oregon doesn’t sell ammunition with lead in it. That causes a lit of condor deaths.

Unfortunately, I believe we do. Another goal to work towards in support of these magnificent creatures
