Noel Snyder & Helen Snyder

The largest flying North American bird, and one of the most endangered, the California Condor, has inspired tremendous interest. This book provides a summary of both the biology and conservation of this awesome species by two of the most knowledgeable field biologists ever to have studied it. A thorough review of the history of condor studies and conservation efforts is followed by detailed examination of the biology and recent decline of the species, and finally by a hopeful plan for ultimate restoration of the condor as a viable member of a wild ecosystem.
