4 Condor Chicks to Be Released Today
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Four young California condors are set to be released today into the Los Padres National Forest, joining 15 adult condors who already range the area where northern Ventura and Santa Barbara counties meet Kern and San Luis Obispo counties. With an estimated 116 condors remaining in the world, “releasing these four is a big step,” said Jane Hendron of the Ventura-based California Condor Recovery Program. The four 7-month-old chicks will be set free in the Cuyama Valley region in Santa Barbara County.
