APPENDIX I
CURRENT LOCATIONS OF CALIFORNIA CONDOR SPECIMENS

If you know of any other California condor specimens, please let me know. I think I have most of the "big" museums, but it's amazing how many smaller collections have California condor specimens. I will eventually complete full records of each individual museum specimen or other mortality. If you'd like to see samples of what I'm doing, click here.
