California Condor
f Ree CALIFORNIA CONDOR, subject of a controversial captive breeding programme, is making a gradual comeback. Once down to a handful of birds, the latest population count stands at 40, all in captivity. Scientists have increased the number of condor eggs laid a season as well as artificially incubated eggs. Thanks to artificial incubation, 28 chicks were born between 1983-1990.
