In a little more than a month, 21 critically endangered California condors have died of avian flu, according to a Friday news release from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Bird flu has not yet been confirmed in condor populations in California and Baja California, Mexico. There have been no new reports of sick or deceased condors since April 11, officials said.
Condors were last spotted in the park area around 1892, authorities said. The California condor is the largest native North American bird, with a wingspan of nearly 10 feet.
The living condor population has now risen above 500, with more than half of those birds successfully living free in the wild in parts of California, Utah, Arizona and northern Mexico.
