According to the Los Angeles Times, wind energy developers in the Tehachapi Mountains are looking to science to avoid what would be a catastrophic collision between an endangered California Condor and a wind turbine. The issue is more critical than ever as the California Condor continues to expand further into its historical range, which includes the Tehachapi Mountains, site of increasing wind energy development. Audubon California is greatly concerned about dangers to the condor and is following this issue very closely. (photo by Kramer/USFWS)
