One in particular comes to mind…

The first time I saw Condor 133, I must say I was not terribly impressed, but then again, I was about a mile away, and she was one of six newly freed condors that were only black dots high on the Ver- milion Cliff walls. Still, it was an honor to be part of the group from Liberty who were invited to attend the first release on December 12, 1996, and even though the vantage we were afforded on the floor of the valley was less than optimal for viewing, a special feeling was in the air. Dignitaries spoke first, followed by a brief ceremony by six American tribal officials welcoming the return of their brothers after an absence of nearly 8 decades. Finally the hack doors were opened and the six black dots emerged.

Years passed and we heard about a few of the Arizona condors that had not survived along with several more subsequent releases, but I still never had an opportunity to see one up close, until Febru- ary 2010. The first bird brought to Liberty Wildlife for medical treatment was the last survivor of the original six to be released in Arizona - and it was Condor 133!

We don’t always get to know the long range outcome of birds that we treat. We support them, fix them up, and send them on their ways with a little more than a wish and a prayer….but not so eagle Blue Band #629-52931.

After his release he floated around Arizona until the end of April. Steady wings! Then on April 30th he got a whiff of something ap- pealing and took off toward the west coast. In five days, on steady Wingin’ It wings, his signal was picked up in Oregon where he remains at the time of this writing. The red dots on the map indicate his travels. The final coup will be to see where he ends up. Will he come back in the fall to his natal territory like the fledglings do? Will he find a mate and a territory to start a new phase of life? Or, will he take off again to the west coast where food is plentiful and weather a bit balmier? Time will tell.

We may not know the answers to these questions yet, but we do know that our rehabilitation practices worked, and that bald eagle, 629-52931 aka “Little John,” left Liberty Wildlife wingin’ it on steady wings….aaah sweet success!

18 URBAN WILDLIFE 19 Condor... continued from page 1 Meet the Goshawk by Greg Martin

The northern goshawk is one of Arizona’s most beauti- ful, impressive, and elusive birds of prey. The fact that Liberty Wildlife is currently treating two of them is a very rare occur- rence: Goshawks prefer high elevations and dense forests, meaning that they’re far from major human populations and thus less likely to be discovered if injured. We have significantly more experience dealing with sharp-shinned and Cooper’s hawks, which along with the goshawk are North America’s representatives in the Accipiter family of hawks. Comparing photos by Terry Stevens photos by Terry those two to the northern goshawk, however, is like comparing I walked down the corridor, looked through the slats, and a fighter jet to a 747.

Green At Work! Green at Work…Watch for a Change

Since 2001 thousands of Arizonans have been able to give “green” at work through the Environmental Fund for Arizona. Since that time 28 leading environmental organizations throughout the State have been the recipients of the generous giving of employees of the workplaces listed below.

An exciting change will occur in June of 2014 when EFAZ affiliates with EarthShare and becomes EarthShare Arizona. This may open up doors to many of you who have not been able to give where your heart is. Look for these new oppor- tunities. The future is indeed bright for green workplace giving in Arizona.
