Condors in the Grand Canyon Everyone at the park is cheering the return of endangered California condors to the wild. Of particular excitement is the first successful hatching of a condor chick in Arizona's wilderness in nearly a century. The chick, which has been nesting in a remote cave located 400 feet up a limestone cliff on the South Rim, fledged on November 5th. The recent fledging marks an extraordinary success for the Condor Recovery Program at Grand Canyon. For the first time in decades, visitors to Grand Canyon National Park now have an opportunity to see this endangered species soaring free. The birth of the new condor chick brings the total population of California condors to 222, with 84 condors living in the wild, 37 of them in Arizona. In 1982, the California condor species was functionally extinct with only 22 birds remaining.

Resources California Condor Recovery California condors (Gymnogyps californianus) Condors are long-lived species with low reproductive rates. They can live up to 60 years in the wild, and become sexually mature at six or seven years of age. Condors mate for life and females lay a single egg, about five inches in length and weighing around 10 ounces, every other year. Male and female condors share incubation shifts. Condors are cavity-nesting birds. Most nest sites have been found in caves, on rock ledges, or in tree cavities. Condors do not build nests; instead, the egg is deposited on the floor of the cave, ledge, or tree. The egg hatches after about 56 days of incubation and both parents share responsibilities for feeding the nestling by regurgitation. Young condors fledge at five to six months of age, but may stay in the nesting area for up to one year. Program Goal:

Photo by Joe Burnett of the Ventana Wilderness Society. BIG SUR, Calif., Nov. 12, 2001 The Ventana Wilderness Society, a small nonprofit group based in the rugged Big Sur Valley on California's central coast has recognized ChevronTexaco for its sponsorship over the last 15 years. A formally worded declaration from the group's board of directors gave the company a big "thanks" for helping it reintroduce bald eagles and California condors into the wild. In addition, company contributions have supported the Ventana Wilderness Society nature education camp for local children. ChevronTexaco "has dedicated its staff, volunteer time, and corporate support to help make the programs of Ventana Wilderness Society successful," reads the official award of recognition. ChevronTexaco began contributing to the society in 1986, supporting a bald eagle reintroduction program. After the success of that program, ChevronTexaco in 1997 began sponsoring the group's California condor program. Today, 71 bald eagles released by the society are living in the wild and have hatched 41 eaglets. Eighteen condors the society released also live in the wild. "Our program is one of the most successful reintroduction programs in the United States Without companies like ChevronTexaco that wouldn't have been possible," says Sal Lucido, the group's co-founder and president of the board of directors. "With the bald eagles, we started from a population of zero in this part of California. We've helped get the bald eagle off the 'endangered' list and onto the 'threatened' list. The population now is self-sustaining and it's only a matter of time before it's no longer threatened."

ENDANGERED CALIFORNIA CONDORS TRANSPORTED TO WORLD CENTER Four endangered California Condors began the longest flight of their lives today when they were transported from Southern California to The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey in Boise, Idaho as part of the captive breeding program directed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and designed to recover this critically endangered species. Four additional condors will arrive on the same plane tomorrow. The four condors began their journey at 10:00 AM today when they were transported by van to the from the San Diego Wild Animal Park to the San Diego Airport and put in on a plane and transported to Boise. To transport the condors, a specially equipped plane was provided by Con-Yan Aviation of Boise. The second group of four will make a similar trek tomorrow from the Los Angles Zoo. This is the second group of condors to leave California since they were restricted to the area around the Sespe Condor Sanctuary on the Los Padres National Forest in California near the turn of the century. The first group to leave California was on September 23, 1993 when 12 condors arrived at the World Center for Birds of Prey. The California Condors are being recovered as part of the Endangered Species Act which mandates that endangered species have a recovery plan designed to restore species on the verge of extinction. There are only two other California Condor breeding facilities in the world, one at the Los Angeles Zoo and the other at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. In addition to adding the World Center's expertise to the project, a third facility will eliminate overcrowding at the other two facilities, and protect genetic diversity.

48. Conservation Of The California Condor but the condor case illuminates the importance of prominent endangered organismsin the most important point to be made about the california condor is one of http://www.stanfordalumni.org/birdsite/text/essays/Conservation_Condor.html

Conservation of the California Condor T By World War II breeding condors were limited to California's southern Sierra Nevada, the Coast Range behind Santa Barbara, and the east-west ranges (Tehachapi Mountains) that connect the two across the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley. Considerably more than sixty birds were alive then. Since that time, the population has gradually declined. The causes of the condor's plight are several: shooting by hunters, poisoning with bait intended for coyotes, contamination of their food with DDT, other pesticides and lead, egg collecting by unscrupulous oologists, general harassment, food scarcity (mammoths and camels no longer exist in California and numbers of domestic stock are declining), and habitat destruction. The question of how to save the condors has been strongly debated in the conservation community. A distinguished panel set up jointly by the National Audubon Society and the American Ornithologists' Union despaired of being able to save the species in the wild. The panel was convinced that irresponsible hunters would continue to shoot the condors, that the birds could not be protected from pesticide contamination, and that their habitat would continue to shrink and deteriorate. To learn more of their biology, the panel recommended initiation of a "hands-on" conservation program, including capturing of most remaining adults, keeping them captive long enough to determine their sex (by means of a simple surgical procedure), and placing radio transmitters on them, before releasing them.

Printer-friendly version Download PDF An eighty-three-year-old man living in a remote mountain town in California heard strange noises upstairs in his bedroom and climbed the stairs to investigate. What he saw amazed him: Eight huge black birds had torn through the screen door and were wreaking havoc in his bedroom. Les Reid, the man whose home was broken into, said of his discovery, “I wasn’t mad, I was just astonished.” Not all people agree on how to protect species in danger of extinction. Captive breeding and reintroduction pro- grams like the one that rescued the condor represent one side of the debate. Proponents of these programs maintain that habitat destruction necessitates breeding animals in zoos. Charles Hirshberg, writer for Life magazine, contends that zoos have “saved threatened animals . . . from extinction.” Proponents also maintain that reintroduction—when possible—helps restore the food chains that sustain all life. As Roger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife, claims, “every living thing has some ecological role to play,” and, since vultures like the condor eat carrion, they eliminate waste and prevent disease. Those who support captive breeding of the condor maintain that their numbers were dwindling so fast—there were only nine individuals left in 1985—that if they weren’t captured and bred, they would go extinct. Thanks to captive breeding programs at the Los Angeles Zoo and the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the status of the condor has been changed by the USFWS from endangered to threatened.

SYMBIOS Public Participation in Decision Making People and Condors [How We Almost Pulled Failure From The Jaws of Success] [Commentary by Sandy Wilbur] Return to Table of Contents INTRODUCTION. THE PROBLEM. When Fred Sibley left the condor research program in 1968, Erickson showed a rare insight for the times [remembering that the Fish and Wildlife Service then had virtually no interest and no training in public involvement]. He decided that Sibley's replacement should be someone with high credibility as a biologist, but also someone who could take research results to the various approving agencies and to the public, and convince them that such a "drastic" program was needed. He selected me from the management branch of the Fish and Wildlife Service as much for my background in writing, public speaking, and working in teams as he did for my research abilities. It took over ten years to "sell" the program, but the Erickson strategy ultimately paid off. To Table of Contents DEFINING THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM It would be highly misleading for me to say that we actually planned our public information strategy from the start. I brought only common sense, on-the-job training in "public relations" to my position as condor recovery team leader, and my co-workers had even less experience with the public. There were few training courses or "how to" manuals available, then. Nevertheless, we managed to ask ourselves some questions that have since become standard in developing public participation, then we went forward on the basis of our answers to those questions. The questions were:

ESRP Natural history profile of the California Condor Audubon and the California Condor Daniel S. Cooper, Director of Bird Conservation, Audubon California April, 2003 The magnificent California Condor, among the rarest and most imperiled birds in the world, was famously rescued from the brink of extinction in the late 1900s. Around 200 birds currently survive, roughly half in captivity and half in the wild. Once found throughout the Southwestern U.S. into Mexico (as well as pockets in New York and Florida), by the early 1900s they were largely confined to the rugged mountains and foothills of Central and Southern California, where they remained until 1987. In that year, the last free-flying wild bird was captured and integrated into an existing captive breeding program. At the time of his capture, this male was one of only 27 living California Condors, whose numbers had dipped to as low as 21 in 1981-82.

As staff members from the Arizona Game and Fish Department, the Peregrine Fund, and the Los Angeles Zoo stood by on the Vermilion Cliffs, Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, using a handheld two-way radio from a mile away, gave the order to release the birds and biologists opened the pens. The Arizona release, undertaken under provisions of the Endangered Species Act, placed the birdspart of a population of 120 left in the worldear the Paria Plateau, about 115 miles north of Flagstaff, Arizona, an area that once supported the condor. The rugged Coconino County terrain provides the necessary remoteness, ridges, cliffs, and caves favored by the carrion-eating birds. "This is the kind of story that clearly demonstrates that the Endangered Species Act works and works well," said Babbitt. "In 1973, Congress gave us a charter to save animals and plants from extinction. And here is a bird that in the 1980s was on the very brink of extinction. Thanks to a lot of hard work and an excellent captive-breeding program, we are able to restore a bit of balance. This is a success story that belongs to the American people."

Calling it "a spectacular tribute to condor recovery partnerships," Interior Secretary Gale Norton praised the work of biologists who confirmed the discovery of a California condor nest containing two condor eggs. The nest was observed in southern California's Santa Barbara backcountry and is the first evidence that captive-bred condors have laid eggs in the wild. The nest was discovered May 16 by Greg Austin, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist at the Hopper Mt. National Wildlife Refuge near Ventura, California. Austin observed two female condors visiting the nest site. It appears that both female birds have laid eggs. All of the condors seen at the nest were raised in captivity but released to the wild. Their successful egg-laying marks a milestone in the condor recovery program, although it is too early to predict if these first-time condor parents can successfully incubate and hatch the eggs.

As of January 2000, the total population of California condors was 158 birds and 53 of those were in the wild. Taxonomy The California condor ( Gymnogyps californianus ) is a member of the family Cathartidae or New World vultures, a family of seven species, including the closely related Andean condor ( Vultur gryphus ) and the sympatric turkey vulture ( Cathartes aura Physical Characteristics California Condors are the largest North American land birds and among the largest flying birds in the world. An adult condor will weigh about 22 pounds and can have a wingspan of up to 9.5 feet. Adults are mostly black with white underwing patches. Similar to their relatives, the vultures, they have no feathers on their heads or feet. Juvenile condors are grayish-black, with short feathers on their heads that they lose as they grow older. The bright orange-red colored head and the white patches under the wings are easy ways to distinguish adult California Condors from juveniles. Males and females cannot be distinguished by size or plumage characteristics.
