Bear Valley Springs residents love their condors ... not, exactly

There's an odd fact that California Condor experts will tell you, and it's that the endangered birds actually like people. That's a fact that residents of Bear Valley Springs in Kern County are learning the hard way, as the birds seem to be enjoying their community a little too much. Local officials from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service acknowledge the problem and are trying to figure out a way to keep the condors away from people's homes and yards, saying that it's not good for the birds to get too cozy with humans.
