All,
The ABA Rules Statement below has two parts. There is an “or” and not an “and” connecting the two parts of the rule statement so the way I interpret it, the California Condor from SW Colorado meets the criteria about the established population of California Condors on Vermillion Cliffs, Arizona. The CO bird flew from that established population to SW CO. Many of the other birds at Vermillion Cliffs portion of Grand Canyon were also introduced from the San Diego Zoo and at least one pair of the Grand Canyon birds has hatched young. (vi) an individual of a reintroduced indigenous species may be counted if it is part of a population that has successfully hatched young in the wild which is reintroduced into an historic range of the species may be counted when the population meets the ABA Checklist’s definition of being established or when it is not possible to reasonably separate the reintroduced individual from a wild-born individual; Bill Maynard Colorado Springs From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joyce Takamine Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 4:19 PM To: cobirds Subject: [cobirds] Condor at Mesa Verde Brandon Percival posted at WSBN that the bird in question is not countable since it was released from the San Diego Zoo two years ago.
