Hi all,

With excitement about Condors being seen in the southwest, there is a documentary about what it takes too keep these birds alive, healthy and flying due to their consumption of lead ammunition tainted carrion.

Try and watch, "The Condors Shadow". Quite the reality check. The birds are captured yearly, and the greater percentage have to undergo chelation therapy to remove this killer from their systems.

Many of us lobbied the DOW Commissioners very hard recently, but they wouldn't budge as to removing this unnecessary poison from the food chain. Arizona has a mitigation program, but not Colorado.
