This time the question was what California bird is among the largest flying birds in the world? The answer is the California Condor. Adults weigh approximately 19.8 lbs (9 kg) and have a wingspan up to 9.1 ft (2.75 m). This is a bird I remember seeing in the wild as a child on my grandparents farm in Fillmore.
Then and now the bird is endangered. Find out all about it in the article about it in Beacham's Guide to the Endangered Species of North America. This series is available in ebook from with your library card. Access it under B on LAPL’s Research & Homework page
