Natural History Wanderings

The California condor population will soon be over 400.  This is a significant jump form 1982 when the population was down to 22. The San Diego Safari Park has a breeding program that has helped increase the production of eggs and successfully hatch birds that have then been released into the wild.  To read about how the breeding program works go to the Union-Tribune article by J.
