100 CA CONDORS FLYING FREE 10-07-10 19:40 a.v.

100 California condors are now flying free around the state. For the first time in half a century, the 100-bird benchmark is the newest development in the reported “slow recovery” of the endangered birds. Every fall, captive-bred, 1-year-old condors are released into the wild at Pinnacles National Monument and Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge. In 1982, the last 22 California condors were placed in a captive breeding program. Today, there are over 380 condors in the world, in captivity and in the wild.
