Recreation The Endangered California Condor Adjust font-size: Published April 17, 2007 by: Gemma Argent View Profile Follow Add to Favorites ... Carrion In the United State, the largest bird is the California Condor, Gymnogyps californianus. It lives in very limited habitat in the state of California. Due to a loss of habitat, it is restricted to the mountains near the coast in southern California and is federally listed as endangered, at risk for extinction. Condors are related to new world vultures rather than old world vulture. They're scavengers, eating only carrion or dead animals. The California Condor has a wing span over nine feet and can weigh up to 31 pounds. When standing erect, they can be almost five feet tall. It takes a California Condor about six years before it reaches sexual maturity, but at about four years of age, it begins to change. The head will start to change colors, ending in a display of yellow, pink and orange. The courtship ritual is done by the male. He will stretch out his wings and crane his neck up, trying to look bigger and more impressive. If a female decides his display is worthy, she'll allow him to approach and then they will fly around together. There is sexual dimorphism between the male and female. The female is smaller than the male. Both condors are solid black and the males have white patches on the underneath of their wings. As a natural adaptation, condors have developed without many feathers on their heads or necks so that they can clean themselves easily after feeding on a carcass. The skin on the head can change colors depending on the state of the bird. Some condors can have a relatively pale or white skin color, while others that are excited or upset might change to a reddish tone.

Endangered Species Report: California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) by Mickey Verant Photo by Scott Frier/Nikon Inc. http://www.fws.gov/endangered/i/B0G.html General Information: Physical Description: The California condor is a bird and it’s the largest flying bird in North America. They have a wingspan of 9 feet from wing to wing. They are 3.5 to 4.6 feet tall. They are egg lying like most other birds. Their egg is about 4.3 by 2.6 inches. They only lay one egg at a time so this is another reason why they are endangered. It’s very hard to tell the males and females apart because they look almost exactly the same. Almost their entire body is covered with black feathers except their head. Their head is completely barren of feathers. Their head has shades of pink, red, orange, yellow and light blue. Their head will turn really bright pink when excited or when they are going to mate. They can weigh up to 18.5 pounds. (San Diego Zoo) Other: The California condor can live up to 60 years according to the San Diego Zoo. One of their special attributes is that they can fly up to 15,000 feet! Another one is that they don’t have feathers on their head. This makes it so when they’re eating, their head won’t get all messy and full of blood. It does not have vocal chords so when it talks, it will only make grunts or hisses. Their last one is that they eat a lot of dead animals that have been lying on the ground for a long period of time and they’ll eat it. By then, it would be contaminated with tons of bacteria so they have a specialized immune system that will allow them to eat things like this. (San Diego Zoo)

Responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 A goal of the AMP is to be consistent with the ESA. Full restoration of the pre-dam ecosystem and annual and seasonal river flows and temperatures are not realistic objectives for the AMP. However, efforts to regain the function of the river and its ecological attributes so that the most disadvantaged species along the river are not jeopardized with extinction are laudable goals and are fully consistent with the ESA. Operational activities undertaken by federal agencies that may affect threatened and endangered species - which were recommended by the AMP - must be consulted upon with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Unfortunately its numbers have dropped mainly as a result of leisure hunting, poisoning and habitat destruction. At its worst, the number surviving in the wild was less than 100. Now conservation schemes have helped the species to breed. Despite this its population remains small enough for it to be critically endangered.

Photo © RayWheeler In the late 1880s, C. Hart Merriam surveyed the plant life of the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona, for the federal Biological Survey. Merriam observed that from the top of the Peaks to the bottom of Grand Canyon, vegetative communities tended to occur along an elevation range . He sought to understand what factors influenced the distribution of the region’s vegetation, and began to categorize distinctive vegetational belts or "life zones." Ecologists and biogeographers still categorize ecological communities based on dominant vegetation, but modern classification systems are more complex than Merriam's. In this website we follow the "biotic communities" concepts of David E. Brown, which include both plant and animal life.

Photo © 1999 Ray Wheeler True alpine tundra communities are found at only the highest elevations on the Colorado Plateau, generally above 12,000 feet. Here only specially-adapted tundra species are able to grow in the harsh climate. Winds are frequently strong, snowfall can be heavy, and the growing season is short, in some areas only thirty days annually. To avoid strong winds and retain precious heat absorbed from the ground or attained through solar radiation, tundra species are commonly small, ground-hugging plants, such as prostrate woody shrubs (commonly willows), herbs, lichens and mosses. On the western edge of the Plateau, Mount Belknap and Delano Peak, atop the Tushar Plateau east of Beaver, Utah, support alpine tundra. The
