Liz.
Yes, they have found lead shot in the condors gizzard, condors are a large
scavenger and eat dead birds that were shot by hunters in the birds range.
Look in the National Geographic Magazine of 8/2007 to see more on this story.
Page 30 of the magazine. The US fish and game commission has a plan
to have hunters in this area to use steel shot as they do in other parts of the US.

Hi all,
I noticed in an ad for Catalyst on Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) Channel 2 will screen a story about Californian Condors and since they were nearly wiped out by lead poisoning and the remaining few have been undergoing chelation therapy, I figured that these important details will be mentioned in the story (though they are not mentioned in the promo below).
ABC TV:
8pm Thurs
1:30pm Tues
ABC2:
8pm Wed
5:30pm Fri
Cheers

The California Condor flies again
Imagine being born in captivity, spending your whole life constrained, and then one day you're set loose in the big wild world.
Well, California Condor Number 79 will find out what that's like, when she's given her first taste of freedom.
From the magnificent mountains of the USA's west coast, Dr Jonica Newby reports on the moving tale of how a small band of conservationists dreamed of seeing this giant of the Pleistocene flying once more above the Californian coastline.
This is a story of ancient mystery and intrigue, of courage and fear, and above all, of an incredible battle to bring a prehistoric species back to life.
