AC-8 was found dead on February 13, and a subsequent necropsy determined that the bird died of gunshot. No arrests have been made. One of only a few dozen endangered California condors in the wild, AC-8 was the last female condor captured in 1986 in a last-ditch effort to save the species from extinction. She spent 14 years in captivity in the captive-breeding program and was the first of the original wild birds to be released in April 2000. “The death of this majestic bird is a great tragedy and a tremendous loss,” Interior Secretary Gale Norton said. “While we have had great success in our condor recovery efforts to date, we cannot accept the needless loss of any of these great birds. We are actively pursuing a full investigation of this matter.”

Science Safari Robot Zoo TimeLine 70 Years Ago in Science News Week of June 9, 2001; Vol. 159, No. 23 Endangered condors lay first eggs in wild Janet Raloff California condors are again mating in the wild. There are only 59 members of this species outside of zoos. All captive-bred, they were released into their former habitat over the past 6 years through a program managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Last week, the agency announced that one of its biologists has spied a trio of the wild condors tending a pair of eggs. Dad considers which of the real eggs to incubate. Brooks/USFWS/Nikon Greg Austin last month spotted two eggs in the same dark overhang on the face of a remote Southern California cliff. Because each female produces a single egg, the presence of a pair in the cliffside hollow suggests that the two females share the single male as their mate. That's surprising since the 25-pound condors ordinarily form monogamous couples for life. Both mother and father contribute to the intensive, nearly 2-year incubation and rearing of each chick. Apparently, the mating triangle has confused the birds.

California Condors Return to Mexico After Lengthy Absence By SCOTT MILLER Washington File Staff Writer Washington "Sixty years have passed without condors in Mexico, and we have seen these birds open their wings where their ancestors once did," said Dr. Exequiel Ezcurra, President of Mexico's Nation Institute of Ecology, commenting on the arrival of California condors that scientists will eventually release into the wilderness in Mexico. During the Pleistocene Epoch, which ended about 11,000 years ago, the California condor thrived in North America, with a range extending from British Colombia down to Central Mexico and throughout much of the United States, according to the May/June 2000 edition of "Endangered Species Bulletin." The scavenger initially fed on the carcasses of mastodons, giant sloths and other mega fauna. As these species became extinct, the condor consumed the remains of bison, deer and elk, the Bulletin said. However, as the human population increased, the number of condors dropped precipitously. The Bulletin estimates that 600 condors existed in 1890, but that their numbers plunged to 22 by the early 1980s. The California Condor Recovery Program was established in 1975 to reverse the species' decline and prevent the possible extinction of the bird. The condor program was established as a cooperative multi-agency effort led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with the cooperation of the U.S. Forest Service, the Zoological Society of San Diego, the Los Angeles Zoo, the California Fish and Game Department, and the Ventana Wilderness Society.

AC-8 was found shot on February 13, 2003 on a large ranch in Kern County, California. Condor AC-8 was one of only about eighty endangered California condors remaining in the wild. She was born in the wild, and in 1986 became one of the last wild condors to be captured for a captive breeding program intended to rescue the giant birds from extinction. After hatching twelve eggs in captivity, Condor AC-8 was released in April 2000, the first of the original wild birds to be let free. Peter Galvin, California and Pacific Director for the Center for Biological Diversity, stated, "We are hopeful that the establishment of this reward fund will help investigators solve this heinous crime. Galvin added, "The California condor is a powerful symbol of the wild. We are deeply committed to making sure that our children and grandchildren can experience the majesty of these amazing animals."

A number of predatory birds have strongly hooked beaks and long, sharp talons (claws) adapted to grasping prey. Most of these birds are called birds of prey or raptors. Most night, or nocturnal, hunters are owls, which scientists placed in the order Strigiformes. The order Falconiformes includes most diurnal birds of prey, which might be called day raptors. The best known day raptors are eagles, hawks, and falcons. Many species have extremely keen eyesight, perhaps keener than in any other animals. Many day raptors soar high in the sky in search of prey, which they then capture after a spectacular dive. Others fly close to the ground or twist and dart through forests, and still others hunt on the ground.

Contact Us Representative Mike Thompson and Senator Barbara Boxer introduce bills to protect northwestern California’s wild places FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 28, 2003 Contact: Ryan Henson, CWC, 530-474-4808 On March 27, 2003, Representative Mike Thompson (D-Napa) and Senator Barbara Boxer introduced the "Northern California Coastal Wild Heritage Wilderness Act of 2003" to protect many pristine and remote stretches of federally owned land in Del Norte, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Napa, and Yolo counties. The bill proposes to designate over 303,000 acres of public land as wilderness, and 21 miles of the Black Butte River as a wild and scenic river, where dam construction is prohibited. Conservationists hailed the decision. "This is a great step forward in preserving wild places both here in Mendocino County and around the North Coast in general. We are thrilled that Congressman Thompson and Senator Boxer have introduced this bill," said David Drell of the Willits Environmental Center. Congressman Mike Thompson first introduced the bill last year amid great fanfare from an array of local political leaders, businesses, conservationists, and recreationists. Since then, momentum has been building so that now it has received expressions of support from 48 current and retired city and county elected officials, over 100 businesses, and over a thousand residents in the affected counties. "Mike Thompson and Senator Boxer worked hard to take all reasonable concerns into account when drafting this bill. I believe it will be great for water, wildlife, and tourism in our region," said Lake County Supervisor Ed Robey.

SYMBIOS Public Participation in Decision Making People and Condors [How We Almost Pulled Failure From The Jaws of Success] [Commentary by Sandy Wilbur] Return to Table of Contents INTRODUCTION. THE PROBLEM. When Fred Sibley left the condor research program in 1968, Erickson showed a rare insight for the times [remembering that the Fish and Wildlife Service then had virtually no interest and no training in public involvement]. He decided that Sibley's replacement should be someone with high credibility as a biologist, but also someone who could take research results to the various approving agencies and to the public, and convince them that such a "drastic" program was needed. He selected me from the management branch of the Fish and Wildlife Service as much for my background in writing, public speaking, and working in teams as he did for my research abilities. It took over ten years to "sell" the program, but the Erickson strategy ultimately paid off. To Table of Contents DEFINING THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PROGRAM It would be highly misleading for me to say that we actually planned our public information strategy from the start. I brought only common sense, on-the-job training in "public relations" to my position as condor recovery team leader, and my co-workers had even less experience with the public. There were few training courses or "how to" manuals available, then. Nevertheless, we managed to ask ourselves some questions that have since become standard in developing public participation, then we went forward on the basis of our answers to those questions. The questions were:
