Condors Rescued as Big Sur Fire Rages | California News

A wildfire in Big Sur is still roaring, threatening over 500 buildings and burning the equivalent of 3,000 football fields—while also endangering rare California condors. After months of recovery from lead poisoning, two critically rehabilitated condors were urgently rescued as flames closed in on their sanctuary. Firefighters and wildlife experts risked everything to save them, and though both are now safe, they remain vulnerable as smoke and heat linger. A marine layer offers temporary relief, but warmer, drier weather looms—making every moment until the fire’s out a race against time for these majestic birds.
