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.

California Condor
Among the largest birds ever to take flight, condors evolved at a time when North and South America provided a reliable banquet of plentiful food for the huge scavengers. Thousands of years ago great herds of large grass-eating animals were found on both continents. When these woolly mammoths, mastodons, camels, and bison died from disease or predation, their carcasses provided food for condors. In South America, the Andean condor soared over the peaks of the Andes Mountains from what is now Venezuela to the southern tip of Chile. The California condor, despite its present-day name, roamed with mammal herds over much of North America. Evidence indicates that California condors were once found in New York State, Florida, throughout the desert Southwest, northern Mexico, and as far north as southern Alaska. The wide range of the Andean and California condors occurred ten thousand years ago, as the last ice age was ending. Around this time, the large mammals that the condor depended on for food were unable to adapt to the changing environment and began to disappear. As its food sources dwindled, the condor's range began to shrink. In South America, Andean condor numbers were severely reduced, especially in Colombia and Venezuela, the northern-most portion of their range. California condors also suffered from this loss of food and disappeared from inland North America. The condors that remained became concentrated in the West, where food was still available. However, the arrival of Europeans in this region in the mid-1800s placed new pressures on the condor. Human activities and encroachment essentially sealed the fate of a bird whose range had already been dramatically reduced.

California Condor Genetic Studies: Sex Determination, Identification of Clan Structure and Coping with a Genetic Disease
The critically endangered California condor Gymnogyps californianus has been the focus of intensive conservation efforts for several decades. The population decline reached a crisis state in the mid-1970s; eventually in 1987, the entire surviving population was held in captivity. Intensive intervention in support of California condors began in the mid-1970s with the development of a recovery plan directed by the California Condor Recovery Team that included monitoring by radio collaring and captive breeding. By late 1985 there was broad recognition that the situation was grave and the decision was made to take all the remaining California condors into captivity. The last California condor living in the wild was captured in 1987. This individual was released back into the wild in 2001 after having fathered 16 chicks and with 40 descendants. Now, there are more than 270 California condors, with over 120 living in the wild. Genetic studies at the San Diego Zoo's CRES have played an integral part in the efforts to recover the California condor. These efforts began in 1981 with the development of cytogenetic sexing of all birds. A definitive method, independent of age of the bird or season of sampling, was needed for identification of the sex of individuals. Subsequently, DNA probe hybridization and then polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification for identification of sex-specific DNA fragments have been utilized for sex determination using blood samples taken opportunistically and eggshell membrane material collected non-invasively (Chemnick, et al., 2000).

Milestones in California Condor Conservation
A California condor takes off from a release site.
In Carl Koford began studying California condors , establishing general biological characteristics, particularly their reproductive biology. Reasons for the condor's decline were determined to be shooting, pesticide poisoning, and habitat disappearance. About 150 birds remained in the wild. In San Diego Zoo director Belle Benchley and curator K.C. Lint proposed a captive breeding program for condors based on Lint's success at breeding Andean condors using double-clutching. A permit was issued to catch a pair of juveniles but the plan was thwarted by environmentalists opposed to disturbing the wild birds. In the California condor was included on the first official list of endangered species. Population estimates ranged from 50 to 60 birds. In population estimates for the California condor ranged from 25 to 35 birds. The American Ornithologists Union, National Audubon Society, California Fish and Game Commission (CFGC), and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) agreed on a more agressive research and conservation-breeding program. Arguments over the use of radiotelemetry and "hands-on research" delayed implementation. In it was conclusively observed by biologists from the Condor Research Center in Ventura, California that California condors will routinely lay replacements for eggs lost early in the breeding season. This had not been observed previously because condors move several miles to lay the replacement. The CFGC and the USFWS granted the Center permission to attempt deliberate replacement clutching of all condor pairs to aid in establishing a captive population. The "condorminium," a special breeding facility, was built at the

An Introduction to the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus)
Archaeological evidence indicates that condors have been revered by western Native Americans for thousands of years and played a major role in their legends and rituals. Condors were considered sacred and capable of providing communication with the supernatural world as well as supernatural powers. Related Resources 3 Baby Condors Die Wild Condor Hatches Birds Home In more recent times, the California condor has become the subject of an intense and sometimes controversial effort to save the species from extinction. Faced with rapidly declining numbers, scientists began collecting wild-laid eggs and capturing free-flying birds to breed them in captivity with the goal of eventually restoring the condor to its rightful place in the California skies. California condors are the largest birds in North America. They may weigh up to 25 pounds and have wingspans of 9 1/2 feet. California condors have bare heads and necks, dull gray-black feathers, and blunt claws. They have a triangle-shaped patch of white, visible only when airborne, that adorns the underside of their wings.

Announces Discovery of Endangered California Condor Eggs - First evidence that captive-bred condors can successfully breed in the wild -
A female condor released in 1995 is tending one of two
eggs laid in a cave in the Santa Barbara backcountry
in California.
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.

Year Wild Birds An increasing use of land for agricultural purposes was probably the primary reason for the sudden and rapid decline in these birds. This was coupled with a growing trend for farmers to bury carcasses rather than leave them lying, a situation which left the birds short of food. Any carcasses which were left lying often contained strychnine which ranchers inserted into dead cattle to kill wolves and coyotes. Everything seemed stacked against the California Condor. Not only was it frequently shot at and short of food, but if it fed upon the carcass of a shot animal it would ingest significant quantities of lead. In one famous case, an ill California Condor was taken in for treatment. After fifteen days of nursing and twenty-four monitoring, she still died and x-rays were done to help determine the cause of death. It was found that the bird had been shot and her breast contained eight pellets. However this was not the reason for her demise; she had died from a ninth pellet which had been ingested. Lead and DDT both accumulate in the body until they prove fatal.

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. Historical Range Fossil records reveal that the California Condor once ranged over much of the southern United States, south to Nuevo Leon, Mexico, and east to Florida, as well as upstate New York. The disappearance of the condor from much of this range occurred about 10,000-11,000 years ago. By the time of the arrival of European settlers in western North America, condors occurred only in a narrow Pacific coastal strip from British Columbia to Baja California Norte. After the 1930s the condors were found primarily in central California, north of Los Angeles.

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.

Endangered condor hatchling in Arizona confirmed
July 7, 2005
Another nestling likely PHOENIX - Biologists - treated to the image of a whitish puffball of a chick - have confirmed a California condor hatching in Arizona. This is only the fourth condor to hatch in the wild in Arizona since the birds were reintroduced there in 1996. This marks a great success for the Condor Recovery Program that's working to bring these birds back from the brink of extinction.
"We're excited to see some consistency with three successful breeding seasons in a row," says Kathy Sullivan, project coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.
"It's quite an achievement," says Eddie Feltes, a field biologist with The Peregrine Fund. "Through a scope, I was able to confirm the new chick had hatched at the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. I could see the chick's mother craning her head down towards the nestling at her feet. The female condor was looking down toward her feet at a commotion of feathers and debris. Soon after, a chick stood out, contrasted against its mother's dark plumage."
The chick at the monument, along the Arizona-Utah border, may be one of two to arrive this breeding season. Biologists believe a second chick also recently hatched in a remote part the Grand Canyon National Park, although they have not yet seen the chick.
