Roadmap for condor return to Northwest
The California condor—
known also as the
Thunderbird—is a tradi-
tional legendary and mytho-
logical bird of Native
American communities, es-
pecially the Wasco.
The condor was the bird
of storms, arriving inland
from the ocean. The image
of the thunderbird—with its
giant wingspan—is featured
on pieces of tribal artwork.
An example is a cradle board
with beadwork at the Mu-
seum at Warm Springs.
Condors were common
in the Pacific Northwest, in-
cluding along the Columbia
River, until the last century.
Pesticides were a main cause
of the birds’ disappearance.
In 1985 the condor had
spiraled down to the brink
of extinction, with only 22
birds remaining.
These remaining birds
were taken into captivity in
a last ditch effort to save the
species. That effort paid off.
Today, thanks to three de-
cades of dedicated work by
a range of partners, 290
condors now fly free in the
wild, all in the Desert South-
west and northern Baja Pen-
insula. Now, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, the
Yurok Tribe of Northern
California and National Park
Service are taking the next
big step in the condor’s re-
covery with a proposal to re-
introduce America’s largest
land bird to parts of the Pa-
cific Northwest.
