Ventana ~ Condor #444 is flying free again after 3-weeks at the Oakland Zoo being treated for lead poisoning. Ventana is a special condor. Ventana is the oldest living wild-raised chick in the Central California flock! She is truly invaluable to the condor recovery effort in that she did not grow up in captivity and was raised in the wild by condor foster parents with minimal human intervention. This is a valuable quality in the condor flock and when Ventana raises her own chicks in the near future, her offspring will represent the wildest condors we have seen since the original founders were trapped in the late 1980s. sanfrancisco.cbslocal/2014/05/30/lead-poisoned-condor-returns-home-after-3-weeks-recovery-at-oakland-zoo/
