Watch California Condors Take Their First Flight
The public is invited to celebrate National Public Lands Day at 1 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time) on Sept. 28 by observing the release of four captive-bred California condors into the wild at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in northern Arizona.
Those who attend this year’s 28th annual event will have the opportunity to talk to condor biologists, learn about the birds and their habitat, and enjoy a festival-like atmosphere while waiting for the birds to take that first leap off the cliff. The event also will be live-streamed via The Peregrine Fund’s YouTube channel beginning at 12:30 p.m. (MDT). Learn more about the event.
