    The evening will begin at 5:30 pm with complimentary offerings of appetizers donated by El Rincon Restaurante Mexicano and refreshments provided by KSB.  The presentation will begin at 5:45 pm.

    20140226_CaliforniaCondorPrior to reintroduction, the last wild condor in Arizona was sighted just south of the Grand Canyon in 1924.  The largest land bird in North America, a condor can weigh up to 26 pounds and have a wingspan up to 9-1/2 feet.  Condors were added to the federal Endangered Species List in 1967.  Only 22 individuals remained alive in 1982.  In 1987, a recovery effort cooperative program was formed by federal, state, and private partners, including The Peregrine Fund, Arizona Game and Fish Department, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Strip Field Office of the Bureau of Land Management, Grand Canyon and Zion national parks, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and Kaibab and Dixie national forests.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance.
