Arraignment on Informa- tion: January 11, at 1:15 pm in Department 2 Courtroundup By Ellen Knickmeyer TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO Bank- ing into the wind and then gliding out of sight, a male California condor flew back into the wild after a cap- tive breeding program that helped save North Ameri- ca's largest species of land bird. The 35-year-old bird named AC-4 soared out of his open pen earlier this week at a canyon rim inside the Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge, in central California's Kern County. He had been one of just 23 condors left in the world in the 1980s. It was the bird's first free flight since 1985, when a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser- vice team captured him near the same spot. It was part of a last-ditch attempt to stop the extinction of the California condor, which has a wing span of more than 9 feet. AC-4 needed only a few minutes to get his bearings before flying out of the pen and over the canyon, said Joseph Brandt, a lead con- dor biologist with the wild- life service. Brandt was sit- ting on a hilltop nearby to watch the release. "He kind of flew right past us. It was really in- credible," Brandt said by telephone Thursday. Lead poisoning is be- lieved one of the main factors that drove Cali- fornia condors toward ex- tinction. The birds ingest fragments of lead bullets when they feed on car- casses of animals shot by hunters.
