what County is Condor in
The prehistoric California Condor â one of the world's great birds â is back in the skies of Monterey County. Prior to the recovery project, the last wild condor in Monterey County was seen 10 Dec 1980.That was when the entire world population, centered around Mt. Pinos in southern California, was on the brink of extinction.ventually all of the last 27 wild condors were captured in hopes of captive breeding, the final one in April 1987. The captive breeding effort was successful: the world population was over 80 birds by the time of the first releases of captive-bred condors in January 1992 at the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, Ventura County.
