California Condor

Celebrating the 100th Birdorable: The Endangered California Condor

March 19, 2008 in New Birds and Vultures – Be the first to comment
This post was last updated on May 31, 2024

Today we've added the one hundredth bird species to Birdorable.com: The California Condor. For all 100 species see Meet the Birds.

The California Condor, a type of vulture, has the largest wingspan of any bird found in North America. The bird today is considered critically endangered. In 1987 the last wild California Condor was captured to become part of one of the most expensive conservation projects ever. At that time there were only 22 individuals! In early 2008 this number had increased to over 300 birds, with over 150 in two wild populations. 

To see all our designs see the California Condor page. Here's a photo of a Birdorable Condor perched on a branch overlooking the Grand Canyon:
