Watch Saturday's release of condors live/BLM file

There's no need to leave home to watch the release Saturday of California condors at Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Arizona. You can simply tune in to a live virtual event of the big birds' flight to freedom.

Additionally, due to high Covid-19 transmission levels in counties surrounding the condor release site, and to help prevent further spread of the virus, partners hosting the 26th annual California Condor Release are strongly encouraging the public to attend the live stream event online.

In 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the team took the celebration online with more than 10,000 viewers of the event. Because of that success, the event will be live streamed again this year.

The programming for the live virtual event will begin at 12:30 p.m. (MDT) 11:30 am (MST). The release pen will be open at 1 p.m. (MDT) 12 p.m. (MST).

“We are unable to schedule exactly when the birds will choose to leave their release pen, so the live stream event will have a picture-in-picture set up with a camera trained on the release pen and will include videos and interviews with the condor biologists and conservationists who work with these massive birds," said Tim Hauck, the condor program manager for The Peregrine Fund. "Viewers will also be able to ask us questions and have them answered live by our team.”
