When Bighorn Sheep Fly

Thirty-four wild bighorn sheep recently took wing during a trip from San Andres National Wildlife Refuge to the Sacramento Mountains of the Lincoln National Forest near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Their journey, which involved a helicopter ride, is part of a partnership effort to establish a brand new population of the once-declining species. As this population grows and becomes stable, it will provide opportunities for wildlife viewing, hunting and nature photography

California Condor Chick Sets Milestones in Santa Barbara County

For the first time in more than three decades, an endangered California condor chick has successfully fledged from a cliff-side nest in Santa Barbara County.  Last month, condor number 933 took its first short flight after being raised by its parents for six months in the northern Santa Barbara backcountry of Los Padres National Forest. This chick represents another milestone in the condor recovery program: the first second-generation wild fledgling in Southern California. Its father fledged from the Santa Barbara backcountry in 1980.
