Given that according to the HBW, the species prefers dense primary and secondary montane forests, the note that the bird also forages among kitchen waste (in the same HBW entry) seems somewhat incongruous.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recently proposed reintroducing California Condors in the Pacific Northwest. But this potential population of California Condors will be a “nonessential experimental” group. One management tool used by FWS is reintroduction of an endangered species into its former range. What does that mean?
