A California condor (Gymnogyps californianus), from Pinnacles National park. In the late 1980s, the population of these birds dropped to 27 individuals and all remaining individuals were taken into captivity for breeding programs. Since then over 1000 condors have hatched mostly in captive breeding programs but also in the wild. Nearly all adults are numbered for monitoring - this is #726 a female called Little Stinker, she was hatched at San Diego Wild Animal park in 2013 and released into the wild in 2016 and is named after the winning plane in the US Female Aerobatic Championship in the late 1940s.
