    The condors have numbers tatooed on their wings….it is a good way to keep track of each condor….I am wondering if companies can adopt a condor and monitor their condor’s life and receive reports about the welfare of the condor?

    From the author:

    Mary – you can adopt a condor at http://mycondor.org/ … the condors are ID’d by their wing numbers, and have also been given nicknames by the field team.
