Me too, Yadira. I saw my first condor this May at the Grand Canyon. Words cannot express how awesome it was. I was a kid during their bleakest period, and it didn’t seem even remotely possible that I would ever see one free-flying in the wild.

I’m happy to see the California condor on the list. In the 1980s the species hit a low of 22 birds left in the world. At the brink of extinction all birds were moved into breeding centers. We’re happy to say you can once again spot those birds flying in California, Arizona and Baja California, Mexico. The population of this species is now at more than 330, with half of those flying free. Visit http://www.cacondorconservation.org to learn more about this remarkable species.

True, I hadn’t thought of that!

That Ivory-billed Woodpecker is pretty odd! But I guess it’s to make sure nobody gets them all.
