The Utah Division of Natural Resources shared a photo of the bird on its Twitter page last week in part because the sight is so rare.
These scavenging birds sometimes die from lead poisoning after ingesting bullet fragments embedded in gut piles left by hunters.
Most condors in Zion are tagged with a tracker, but #1111 is not, says Jonathan Shafer, spokesman for Zion National Park. #1111 parents’ are mother condor #409 and father condor #523. “California condors are curious and are sometimes attracted to human activity. They are frequently seen in Zion perched on or soaring above Angels Landing and on the Kolob Terrace Road near Lava Point,” Shafer told The Tribune. “If a bird is perched, do not approach it or offer food. If a condor is near people, please note its tag number and tell a park ranger.”
“I think ESA is not the only solution for bird conservation,” Norvell said. “But for the California condor in this population, it has been the backbone, I think, of our recovery efforts.”
