My search for information about the California condor has turned up some sources that surprised me.
In this post I list some academic journals with articles that at least mention the California condor. These are journals where, when I began my research, I would not have expected to find the condor at all.
The journals below represent the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. This variety of publications indicates the many ways that humans can relate to another species, as well as the world-wide interest in the species. Note also that the articles below were published over a nearly 2-century span of time.
