“For the first time in more than 100 years, California condors were spotted nesting in the northern part of the state, scientists said. The condor couple was found Monday displaying typical nesting behavior inside a hollowed-out redwood tree in Big Sur, a mountainous coastal region south of Monterey, the Ventana Wildlife Society said Tuesday. … Scientists have worked for years to bring the condor back from the brink of extinction. Ventana, a nonprofit group, began releasing condors into the wild in 1997 and now monitors a population of 38 condors in Central California.The last known condor egg in Northern California was collected in 1905 in Monterey County.” (03/30/06)
