Description

What was once extinct but now glides across southwestern U.S. skies? It’s the California Condor! Hosts Rick and Ebone explore the species’ deep ties to its region, how you can spot this vulture, and what is included in their diet in order to maintain an impressive wingspan. Lead Wildlife Care Specialist, Ron Webb, and Associate Director of Conservation Research Division, Nacho Vilchis, join the show to explain the imperative work that took place to reintroduce the largest North American land bird back into the wild.
