California condor: How conservationists rescued a bird that was lost in time

This clip shows the California condor's amazing reflexes and agility. The prey-go-neesh (condor) is part of the Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP) flock.

At The Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds of Prey outside Boise, Idaho, partners have raised more than 300 California condors. “What’s remarkable is that they’re really raising the future of the California cond

Condor C0 has returned to the Northern California Condor Restoration Program (NCCRP) flight pen after scans at the Oakland Zoo determined that the bird likely impacted something with her right wing hard enough to chip the radius bone. Condors have two long wing bones: the radius and the ulna. The radius is smaller in diameter. Oakland Zoo vets indicated that the bone is already well-healed and that it should not affect C0’s flight or release schedule. Because of this positive diagnosis, NCCRP st
