A new & growing #threat is facing America’s #LargestBird - the #California #condor - a #famed #species that has been slowly #recovering from the #BrinkOfExtinction .
A #HighlyContagious strain of #AvianInfluenza has killed at least 18 of the massive #birds around the #GrandCanyon in #Arizona over the past month. And now California #biologists are scrambling to address what could be a #catastrophic #setback if condors in #BigSur & other parts of the state become infected.
