A rare condor hatched and raised by foster parents in captivity will soon get to live wild

Another chapter in one of the greatest comeback stories in the world of endangered species is being written with the release of four young California condors north of the Grand Canyon. The group includes Milagra, a young condor whose story is nothing short of a miracle, as her name implies. Her mother died last year during a devastating outbreak of avian flu and her father struggled alone to incubate the egg. Hatched in captivity and raised by foster condor parents, Milagra is expected to join other endangered condors in the wild this weekend as part of a decades-long recovery effort.
