These are magnificent buzzards often mistake for a small airplane at a distance.

26lbs, 10 foot wingspan flying at 1000ft. They often cover more than 150miles per day looking for meat, gorging every 3-10 days.

God put all the animals in our trust. We should endeavor to do the best we can.

“condor advocates are reaching out to hunters in an education program that emphasizes the effects of lead ammunition on condors and wildlife generally”

Is this possible? How many lead bullets would it take to poison the wildlife?

[DoughtyOne]

I have a hard time believing that enough animals are carrying around lead in them, to be this big of a problem.

Evidently studies prove me wrong, but it sure seems like a stretch.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In their uphill battle for survival condors have struggled against habitat loss and eggshell thinning, but it is lead poisoning that poses the biggest continuing threat. Among the birds already in the wild, nine out of 10 have elevated lead levels. The primary source, scientists agree, is fragments of lead ammunition in the carrion they ingest. Unless their exposure to lead is reduced, condors are unlikely to achieve self-sufficiency.
