Imagine California condors soaring for miles and miles without even using that majestic nine-foot wingspan. Sadly, Native American tribes have had to imagine the very existence of condors for a long time — since the birds were wiped out from their ancestral territory by the early 20th century.
But this spring, the condors will soar again when they're reintroduced by the Yurok Tribe of Northern California. Host Celeste Headlee speaks with Tiana Williams-Claussen, director of the Yurok Tribe's Wildlife Department.

Cpl Vic Burk Unfortunately I Never Got to See One during My Trips to Alameda, San Diego, Coronado but I'd Love to! Hard to Imagine something with a Larger Wingspan than a Turkey Vulture,

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I think the only flying bird with a longer wingspan is an albatross. We have plenty of Turkey Vultures here in CT. They are a big bird too.

SrA John Monette - We have a pair that live in the attic of an abandoned house on our property. The roof has been caving in for years and the has a couple big openings to the attic where they set up housekeeping. I feed them carcasses from my taxidermy projects!
