Endangered condors return to northern California skies after nearly a century

Yurok Tribe will create a captive breeding facility in Redwood national park for birds that could be released as early as this fall

After a century of absence, the endangered California condor is set to return to the skies of the Pacific north-west.

The condor once soared from British Columbia to Mexico, but habitat loss, overhunting and, most significantly, poisoning from hunting ammunition drove the birds to near extinction.
