The road to recovery has had many twists and turns for the biologists monitoring these critically endangered birds. Join
for a glimpse into the life of a condor biologist: an overview of condor biology, the captive breeding and reintroduction program, radio and GPS tracking data, wild nesting and fledgling success, and an update of the Central California Flock’s progress.
Erin Lehnert is a wildlife biologist from Michigan. She especially loves birds, but her passion for all wildlife has taken her all over the world. Erin got her master’s degree in ornithology from the University of Central Oklahoma before she started with the California Condor Recovery Program in November of 2021.
Having worked for various federal agencies as a biologist since 2009, Erin’s travels have taken her to 13 states to work with birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles! Birds are her passion and working with Condors has been a dream job come true. Erin wants to protect the wild areas of the world and hopes that through research and science she can contribute to conservation practices for birds and all other wildlife. She hopes that by sharing enthusiasm for the natural world, those that she encounters will also find a love for nature and the world around them.
