This woman is sure to be happy to learn about more condors in the skies!
It’s great that condors are being reintroduced, but there has been a population for a while now.

Currently approximately 340 total in the wild. So if that article is accurate I guess something like 6% of all wild condors are hanging out at that one lady’s house?

Does anybody else remember the time Jedd and Granny tried to save the condors? No? Nobody? My God, I’m so old …

If you haven’t yet had an opportunity to see one of these creatures in person it’s quite a sight—the largest bird in North America and one of the largest flying animals in the world today. When they glide overhead they cast a shadow like a small airplane. Not the prettiest of faces but who among us is.
It’s basically the kind of thing Gandalf would ride if he got stuck with a loaner while the King of the Eagles was in the shop.

They’re alchemists - they live on stuff that’s poison to most critters. That’s sexy AF.

They are being reintroduced in this location as part of the repopulation plan. Pinnacles park in norcal is a good place to condor-watch amid fantastic hiking and vistas.
In Northern California, they haven’t been seen for over 100 years. Our local Native American tribe was instrumental in accomplishing this. There was a lot of hard work done before this release was possible.
