Condor Release Program

Hoi is the adult mentor bird that teaches the young condors the skills they need to survive in the wild. Photography by Ralph W. Schardt. On Thursday, October 28, condor 307 was released into the wild at Pinnacles National Monument. Two other birds were slated to be released, but did not choose to enter the double-door trap that serves as the exit for the flight pen. Two more birds will be released over the next few days.

If you see condors, please view them from a distance and never approach them or try to feed them.
