In Sept 2014 the ABA loosened its rules about counting a California Condor. http://listing.aba.org/reintroduced-indigenous-species/ The key question whether to count a California Condor, assuming you follow ABA rules, seems to be, "Does this bird belong to a condor population that has successfully hatched young in the wild?" At the above website the ABA lists four condor populations that have such a confirmed wild hatching. If N8, the recent Colorado find, belongs to one of these populations, I believe it is ABA countable. I searched the *California Condor North American Studbook* ( http://tiny.cc/ctq7wx) and cannot find N8, so am at a dead end. Perhaps the CBRC will pursue this and let us know what it finds. Will California Condor become number 499 on the Colorado list?
