Launch of condors on tribal land marks the species' comeback, but a new threat looms large 2022-04-11T04:00:00Z “I’ve always just listened and watched their behavior and kind of let them guide me,” said Burnett, who has released nearly 200 condors into the wild. Flight of the Condors If the California condor is accumulating such high amounts of DDT, that means that every link of the coastal food chain — including people — is also exposed. Scientists find new and mysterious DDT chemicals accumulating in California condors 2022-05-17T04:00:00Z Similar releases in Arizona have introduced the condors back into the wild. After more than a century, California condors soar over redwoods once again 2022-05-03T04:00:00Z The condor plays an important role in the Tribe's creation story and ceremonies, and its relationship with the birds extends back thousands of years. Newest flock of wild California condors faces an old threat: lead poisoning 2023-04-02T04:00:00Z Today, these programs are widely regarded as a success and have allowed for the condors’ repopulation of Yurok tribal lands, as well as the replacement of birds killed by wind turbines.

Man convicted of setting Big Sur wildfire that killed 12 endangered condors 2022-04-08T04:00:00Z Saving this critically endangered species is particularly tricky: It takes more than six years before a condor is ready to reproduce, and even then, the birds tend to lay only one egg every other year. Scientists find new and mysterious DDT chemicals accumulating in California condors 2022-05-17T04:00:00Z The Yurok word for condor is prey-go-neesh and the tribe views the bird’s reintroduction as part of its “obligation to bring balance to the world.” After more than a century, California condors soar over redwoods once again 2022-05-03T04:00:00Z Since 2015, the zoo, which breeds condors for the wild population, has worked to reduce lead exposure in "nontarget" wildlife, primarily raptors. Newest flock of wild California condors faces an old threat: lead poisoning 2023-04-02T04:00:00Z “We understand that rearing and releasing birds is the only currently verified way to offset condor take,” he added, “but would much prefer to see steps taken to prevent the loss of free-flying adult birds.” Launch of condors on tribal land marks the species' comeback, but a new threat looms large 2022-04-11T04:00:00Z Twelve condors, including two chicks, died in the blaze, which also ruined multiple condor nesting structures and injured several other birds.

Scientists find new and mysterious DDT chemicals accumulating in California condors 2022-05-17T04:00:00Z They first arrived in California in September and are the product of more than three decades of captive breeding aimed at rescuing the California condor from extinction. After more than a century, California condors soar over redwoods once again 2022-05-03T04:00:00Z But stopping the poisoning before condors eat lead remains key. Newest flock of wild California condors faces an old threat: lead poisoning 2023-04-02T04:00:00Z “It’s been a huge success story,” said Mike Scott, who in 1984 headed the massive effort by federal and state wildlife authorities and partner organizations to pull the California condor back from the brink. Launch of condors on tribal land marks the species' comeback, but a new threat looms large 2022-04-11T04:00:00Z A 31-year-old man has been found guilty of igniting a 2020 wildfire in Big Sur that killed 12 endangered California condors, seriously injured a firefighter and destroyed multiple homes, prosecutors announced this week.

Endangered California Condors Can Reproduce Asexually, Study Finds 2021-10-30T04:00:00Z In 1982, their population dipped to just 22, thanks primarily to the prevalence of hunting with lead ammunition, which poisons the dead animals that condors eat. California condors almost went extinct. Now, scientists say, they are capable of reproducing without males. 2021-11-05T04:00:00Z The captive breeding of condors began four decades ago as a means of rescuing the species from imminent extinction. Launch of condors on tribal land marks the species' comeback, but a new threat looms large 2022-04-11T04:00:00Z The challenge I found is that, with its red-orange head and a patch of white feathers under otherwise black wings, a condor at 200 feet looks a lot like a turkey vulture at 100 feet. Why are so many people heading to California’s newest national park? 2022-02-10T05:00:00Z If we are able to save the condor, he said, that means we are also saving so much other life along the way.

California condors: Virgin births discovered in critically endangered birds 2021-10-29T04:00:00Z Years ago, Dr. Ryder was asked to develop a system for identifying the sex of the California condors in captivity because males and females look the same. Endangered California Condors Can Reproduce Asexually, Study Finds 2021-10-30T04:00:00Z In this case, each mother condor had previously bred with males, producing 34 chicks, and each was housed with a fertile male at the time they produced the eggs through parthenogenesis. Study finds California condors can have ‘virgin births’ 2021-10-28T04:00:00Z Avangrid’s proposed mitigation project also anticipates incidental “takes,” or fatal injuries, of up to two free-flying adult condors and the loss of their two chicks or two eggs over a period of 30 years.
