California condors have soared in the skies of North America for some 11,000 years. By 1982, the wild population had dwindled to just 22 birds, largely due to lead poisoning from bullets left in the carrion they consume.

Have you ever seen a California condor? They’re North America’s largest land bird and were once completely extinct in the wild. Their main threat has been lead poisoning from bullets found in the animal carcasses these condors consume. Thanks to conservation efforts and a successful captive breeding program, their numbers have increased from 27 to around 565. You can find CA condors in Pinnacles, Big Sur, and Bitter Creek in California. They can also be found in Zion National Park in Utah and Ve
