Me-new-kwek' (A6, 1101) takes to the sky! Final release of 2022 and 8th #Californiacondor now wild over @TheYurokTribe ancestral lands and @RedwoodNPS. His name means "I'm bashful" or "I'm shy" because of his reserved demeanor. The journey is just beginning! Many thanks!
At 2:30pm yesterday, the Northern CA Condor Restoration Program released the 7th prey-go-neesh (CA condor) to soar over Yurok skies in more than a century. #rewilding

Condor A7 update: After healing from cheek surgery at our onsite Condor Recovery Center, A7 was given a final exam & antibiotics. @YurokCondors Senior Biologist Chris West applied new transmitters & escorted A7 back to the Yurok condor site - she will be released soon!

An encouraging update on A7 (1109) from the fantastic @oakzoo team. Thanks to @SageCenters for partnering for the CT scan, which was critical to the diagnosis. A7 is recovering and under close observation, and will be returning to NorCal soon.

Condor update: we brought A7 to @SageCenters for a CT scan. Nothing serious was found, and we removed a lodged bone fragment from something she ate.
Hopefully she’ll improve quickly, and be transported back north to prepare for her upcoming release back into the wild!
A condor being prepared for release at @TheYurokTribe facility developed an infection on her beak. “A7”, a 14-16 month female, was transported to Oakland Zoo. Our vet staff treated her beak, but there is a soft tissue swelling that still needs to be investigated surgically.
#InternationalVultureAwarenessDay! #Vultures are vital to our planet. They remove carcasses and reduce diseases and pathogens, such as anthrax, botulism, cholera. But many species are severely threatened and face extinction!

It's nonstop action for our incredible vet team -- recently they headed north to the @TheYurokTribe site near Eureka to help with the arrival of 4 new CA Condors. Our team assisted w/physical exams, West Nile Virus vaccines, & taking blood samples to check health & lead levels.
NOW HIRING! Please share! The Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department is recruiting for the position of Wildlife Technician III, with duties focused on #californiacondor monitoring and management for the NCCRP population.

973 (A1) is now a wild #californiacondor! Referencing this joyous day, when all four of our first cohort fly free together, he has been nicknamed "Hlow Hoo-let" which means "At last I (or we) fly!"
