California Condors once soared across the continent, but progressive decline of food sources, habitat, and interactions with humans meant that by the 1980s, there were barely two dozen birds alive. Massive efforts to keep the largest of North American birds alive have resulted in three well-monitored flocks that once again soar over the western regions of Mexico and United States.

Guest speaker Christina Baal is a bird artist and naturalist whose dream in life is to meet and paint 10,000 different species of birds. After graduating from Bard College with a degree in studio art, she started her own art business and travels across the country and around the world searching for birds. Christina currently lives in Pinnacles National Park in Central California where she volunteers with the California Condor Recovery Program.
