Reintroduced to the region in 1996, condors are now a fairly common year-round resident throughout the region. Although limited in numbers, they are commonly seen around Grand Canyon Village from March to October. During the remainder of the year, they are most often seen at Navajo Bridge and the Vermilion Cliffs release site north of Highway 89A. The first successful breeding occurred in 2003. Prior to reintroduction, California Condors were last seen in the checklist area in March 1881 when two were seen (and one shot and killed) at Pierce Ferry (Brown, 1899).
