: The condor is a federally listed endangered species, and extreme care was taken during all capture and handling procedures to minimize stress and disturbance. This study was carried out in strict accordance with the recommendations in the Guidelines to the Use of Wild Birds in Research of the Ornithological Council. No animal care committee reviews research conducted under endangered species recovery permits; therefore, condor field program permits were reviewed and approved by the USFWS Permit Coordinator, California Condor Coordinator, and Region 8 Endangered Species Division. The use of GPS transmitters was authorized as a recovery action under section 10(a)(1)(A) with a permit issued to The Peregrine Fund (ESPER0012660-1). The Peregrine Fund is permitted by the Federal Bird Banding Laboratory under permit #20499. In addition, this work was authorized in the state of Arizona under a separate Memorandum of Understanding between The Peregrine Fund and the Arizona Game & Fish Department.
