10/11 California Condors, an endangered species, are now 4-birds stronger at the Vermillion Cliffs. The Arizona-Utah California Condor conservation program released the birds at the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument on September 28-th. This endangered species certainly can use that help. By 1982, the total population of California Condors world-wide had dwindled to just 22-birds. As of this year, there are about 560-birds total.
