We met briefly after the meeting. I mentioned a possible release site for condors that would have much to offer for the birds. There are few roads, many cliffs, and very, very few people. A web site gives the following description to the " Lost Coast" of N. Calif. " California's Lost Coast certainly qualifies as a dramatic landscape. It stretches roughly 80 miles along a rugged, lightly traveled coast, backed by a dozen peaks rising more than 2000 feet, crowned by the 4,087-foot hulk of Kings Peak. Two dozen year-round streams cascade down deep, steep-walled canyons in a landscape so rugged the highway builders just shook their heads and went elsewhere. Of the four roads that reach this wild coast, two are one-lane dirt and all are twisting and steep. Yes, dramatic fits as does remote." If the birds are doing well at Big Sur, they may do very well here. Sinkyone Wilderness, State Park is near the area. Just a thought. Mike Wallace spoke to the NSTA Friday, October 26.

Sinkyone Wilderness, State Park is near the area.

Just a thought.

They were there until 11:00 am, they have not returned. On the morning of March 18, 2006 I saw 4 condors roosting in a high sycamore tree outside my living room window in Grand Junction, Colorado.
