Outdoor Life notes the California condor, North America’s largest bird with a 10 foot wingspan, survives in Los Padres National Forest. Once 60, the species now numbers 45 to 50, living in an isolated refuge with few threats from hunters or mountain lions. The article hints at fragile survival and unusual breeding.
Creatures on the ground, the condor in flight is sheer majesty on wings. Like their smaller cousins, the buzzards, condors glide in long straight swoops. Observers watch them for minutes, gliding on air currents with no wing flicker. The California condor roams far and wide, up to 100 miles from Los Padres. They seek an egg every two years, a factor in their limited population. No captivity breeding attempts have been made, risking eventual extinction of this graceful flyer.
