Lucky me! I spotted this cute couple (brown 976 and Pink 856) this morning and I’ve been smiling about it all day! Bios in comments. #californiacondors #gymnogypscalifornianus #lifer #sununo

I read this on the heels of an investigation into HPAI's spread by @propublica.org and one has to wonder if there is indeed more we can do to stop the spread of this scourge, which is particularly threatening to endangered #raptors like #CaliforniaCondors. 2/2

"In Mexico the species disappeared earlier, in the late 1930s. Its return — the first captive-bred condors were released in 2002 — is the result of collaboration among zoos and other institutions in the US and Mexico."

" @audubon.org’s collaboration with wind projects in the Tehachapi Mountains of California resulted in experimentation with advanced technologies to detect #GoldenEagles & #CaliforniaCondors ...Since then, no Condors have been killed or injured at a wind project..."

New paper: Can movement reveal lead poisoning in condors? #CaliforniaCondors are critically endangered, and one of their biggest threats comes from humans: #leadammunition. Can their #movementpatterns tell us when they’ve been exposed?

The program has been successful as there are now 561 #CaliforniaCondors globally Condors had suffered from lead poisoning with the carcasses they consumed & their habitats have been threatened...This is now an international effort

Here's a California condor chick

#CaliforniaCondors sharing a moment. Critically endangered and on the edge of extinction in 1982, all 22 remaining ones were gathered into the San Diego Zoo for a captive breeding program. It was successful and now they're back in the wild.

@josephpbelli.bsky.social Just finished your book and found it really enjoyable! An interesting blend of field narrative and historical background. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a not-oft-seen glimpse into the world of California condors. #birds #booksky #californiacondors #fieldwork

Apologies to the driver behind me when I yeeted into the nearest turnout because I spotted a pair of Condors at Little Sur on my way home. Shoutout to the subsequent 16 tourists that came to my impromptu Ted talk when they pulled in wondering what I was looking at. 🧵 1/#californiacondors #birds

California condor K6 opens up. It’s massive wings to capture the sun as it enters the canyon. Always amazing to capture one of the most rare birds/animals on the planet. #CaliforniaCondors #Birds #BirdsOfBlueSky #Arizona #VisitArizona #NavajoLand #NavajoBridge

Being able to see an endangered species like the California condor this is genuinely a treat.
