The California condor was listed as an endangered species in 1967. In 1987 California
Condors were on the verge of extinction with only 27 alive, as the last free flying condor, AC9,
was taken from the wild. In 1992, the USFWS began reintroducing captive-bred condors to the
wild to reestablish the population. Today, there are over 560 birds with over half of them flying
free in the wild in various populations including California, Arizona, and Baja Mexico. The
California Condor is a resident of the local area and can be found in the mountains behind
Ojai, Santa Paula, Fillmore, Piru, and Santa Barbara.
