CONDOR

A California Condor in flight is an impressive sight. With a nine-foot plus wingspan, the birds can stay aloft for hours, floating up to 15,000 feet on warm air thermals.

ENDANGERED STATUS

This is North America's largest flying bird, weighing over 20 pounds. Condors can survive up to 60 years in the wild, but don't mature sexually until six or seven years of age and lay only one egg per year. Their slow maturation and reproductive process have been a factor in the bird's decline and near extinction.
