Less than 400 of the majestic birds live and fly in the wild
Federal law enforcement authorities are looking for information related the shooting of an endangered California condor last year in San Benito County.
She said that after park officials discovered the bird shot, they reported it to U.S. Fish and Wildlife agents who investigated, but have not been able to make any arrests. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Service’s Office of Law Enforcement in Sacramento at 916-569-8478 or email Special Agent Victoria Van Duzer at [email protected] . Callers may remain anonymous.
In a desperate gamble to stave off extinction, federal biologists captured all the remaining wild condors in 1987 and began breeding them in the Los Angeles Zoo, San Diego Zoo and other facilities. The birds’ numbers have gradually increased as their offspring have been released back to the wild at Pinnacles National Park, in Big Sur, near the Grand Canyon, in Kern County, in Baja, Mexico, and most recently near Redwood National Park.
The birds have had a fair number of tribulations in the past few years. The Dolan Fire in Big Sur in 2020, killed 12 of the endangered birds, and burned down a release facility run by the non-profit Ventana Wildlife Society.
