Yes. . . that's right! The California Condor has made a comeback from near extinction and is once again soaring proudly in the air. Last weekend at the California Museum of History, Women and the Arts, a special exhibit highlighted the remarkable efforts of many groups to save this bird from extinction. This is one of the many unique exhibits that can be seen at the museum, which is where Erin is currently the Education and Programs Associate. She is trying on a pair of condor "wings" which are about 10 feet wide, making these birds the largest in North America. Helen and Jeannie were there for the program, helping children make paper condors. If you are in the downtown Sacramento area, it is a wonderful museum. Check it out (californiamuseum.org)!

Great post. Those birds are amazing. I am glad that California is doing something to save them. P.S. - I edited the post so that the web address was clickable to take people to the museum website.
