California Condor #95 @ Grand Canyon South Rim

The California Condor is an ice-age relict snatched from extinction by removal of its last numbers from the wild in 1987. After an aggressive captive-breeding program, it was reintroduced in 1992 in California and 1996 in Arizona, where it had disappeared around 1925. Wild reproduction in Grand Canyon began in 2003. This bird remains one of rarest and most endangered in the world.
