LA Weekly

I just received word from Garry George of the Los Angeles Audubon Society that Condor AC2, one of the original Santa Barbara pair captured in 1986 and just re-released at the Bittercreek Refuge this summer, has been found dead. I'll post more details when Fish & Wildlife issues an official release. A month ago I went out with a group from Audubon and a Fish & Wildlife biologist to track the bird. We were thrilled when we finally spotted him soaring above our heads. As Garry put it this morning, it makes the loss of an endangered species a little less abstract and a lot more painful.
