"The Yurok Tribe has been working on reintroducing the California condor to its historic territory in the redwood region for 14 years. On Monday, those efforts reached a milestone.
Monterey-based Ventana Wildlife Society transferred four of the endangered birds, who are between 2 and 3 years old, from San Simeon to the Northern California Condor Restoration Program’s flight pen in the Redwood National Park. The four birds are expected to be acclimated to the environment for six weeks before being released, after which they will continue to be monitored." - Sonia Waraich, Eureka Times-Standard
