The California Condors
as they soar over and perch on the cliff rocks at the South rim of the Grand Canyon

Don't waist your time trying to contact the Peregrindfund about the Condors.
Their web site is many years old & out dated.
In my talks with them I do not believe they are going to up date it.
I have found them to be very hostile towards giving information to the public.

Please enjoy yourself and return often


WELL, Maybe, I have found a new and reliable source
for Condor information, remember I said maybe.

This person is a Park Ranger --Intertation person for the Grand Canyon National park.

The person's (lady's) name is
Ms. Marker Marshall
Marker_Marshall@nps.gov
Should you question any of the information.

Condor Enthusiasts--

Attached below in Word is (finally) the revised Condor Chart by Tag Number (full-sized version). One change from previous years: I dropped the chart relating the color of plastic to the age of the condor, since the Peregrine Fund ran out of new colors and abandoned that system.
