It is with heavy hearts that we bring you news on the conclusion of young condor 832's journey. After a spectacular 500 mile flight through Utah and into Wyoming, 832 was found deceased by our biologist in the field. She was last seen by so many at Medicine Bow Peak before taking off to explore more of this beautiful country. Peregrine Fund biologist, Josh Young, was able to track down her location using radio telemetry, but by the time he reached her it was too late. The cause of death is currently under investigation by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and we will update you as we know more information. But in the meantime, we urge you not to speculate about what may have contributed to her eventual passing until we have more information.

We will never be able to erase those breathtaking images from our mind of T2 majestically perched atop a mountain in Wyoming. Our sincere thanks to the citizen scientists who helped provide information of her whereabouts on her journey north. Also, thanks to all the lovers of condors out there who support the tireless work of those who have, and those who continue to dedicate their lives to bringing this species back from the brink.
