On April 24,1997 we were fortunate to see a California Condor at Vermillion
Cliffs, AZ , very near the first release site which is not too far from the
Grand Canyon. I don't remember how many were in the first group but know
a few have been killed. I think I read one was picked off by a Golden
Eagle. I believe there has been more releases since then.
