...large birds...our prey go neeshes, which is what our Yurok tribe call California Condor's, as doing so well.

The tribe, working with others, have been raising them for years in large aviaries, and have now, for the past several months or longer, been releasing them one or two at a time.

Well, an article this week says that free-flying birds ate their first outside of the management area, which was a bear.

The tribe gives out non-lead bullets to hunters. Even a small amount of lead shot will kill the condors.

Here's a photo. Another will be released at the end of the year. Normally, they live in multigenerational groups with the older birds teaching the younger ones the ropes. But, with no older birds, they feel that the ones already released will begin teaching the newer released ones what they need to know.

You'll notice #'s on them, and something else. The latter is how biologists and technicians track the young birds. It's via radio and satellite-telemetry transmitters that are attached to the birds’ wings.

They are large birds. When I worked at the zoo, we had one, and I had the opportunity to handle him. It was amazing!
