​

The 1st 2 Condors to fly over Northern California in over a century are scheduled be released Tuesday morning...
At 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 3, the Yurok Tribe and Redwood National and State Parks will facilitate the release of the first two California condors to take flight in the center of the bird’s former range since 1892.
The California Condor became extinct in the wild in 1987 when all remaining wild individuals were captured.
These are amazing birds with a 9' wingspan.

Spot on; you know your Vultures!
The California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) is a New World vulture and the largest North American land bird.

We have a few Vultures in the neighborhood that feed on the Squirrels that get hit by cars. Most of the large tress here are either Pecan or Live Oak which attract large amounts of Squirrels.
