PAICINES, Calif., March 10 (UPI) -- A pair of California condors have nested in a California national park for the first time in more than 100 years, park officials said Wednesday.
Pinnacles National Park Superintendent Eric Brunneman said the Ventana Wildlife Society released the female condor at Pinnacles, in Paicines, approximately 18 months ago, and the male was set free in nearby Big Sur, along the state's central coast, KTVU-TV,Oakland, reported.
The condors were tracked with visible numbers, radio telemetry, and global positioning technology.
An egg was confirmed in the nest last week, park officials said.
