What's the expected time for this lead prohibition to have any impact on the bird population? (I'd think that it would be quick since the rot time for contaminated carrion would have expired by the end of July but I can't find any discussion on the web regarding this result.) <em>Editor's note: Biologists say it is much too early to see how the led ban will affect the California condors.

She was made famous by this video of her enjoying a meal surrounding by other birds. Yes, the video is of No. 336 who died of lead poisoning.

Condors are truly amazing birds; we were so blessed to see one fly over our heads at the Grand Canyon. Thank you for the video; very interesting to watch! Is that the same 36 that just died?
