BCAS is thrilled to welcome Erro Lehnert, founder of the California Condor Recovery Program, who will present “Heartbreak and Hope: A Biologist’s Life with Condors”.
Join us for a glimpse into Erro’s life as a condor biologist, including an overview of condor biology, the captive breeding and reintroduction program, radio and GPS tracking, and wild nesting and fledgling success, along with the heartbreak that comes with the work. The largest flying bird in North America still faces many challenges, but thanks to dedicated biologists, geneticists, and conservationists, there is reason for hope.
As an added bonus, our regular social time will include an art exhibit by Christina Baal. Christina has designed artwork for Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival, The Biggest Week in American Birding, the New River Birding and Nature Festival, and New Jersey Audubon’s World Series of Birding. She will be offering a curated selection of her work for sale, with proceeds benefiting BCAS.

Erro Lehnert is a wildlife biologist from Michigan. She especially loves birds, but her passion for all wildlife has taken her all over the world. Erro got her master's degree in ornithology from the University of Central Oklahoma before she started with the California Condor Recovery Program in 2021. Erro has worked as a biologist for federal agencies since 2009, and her travels have taken her to 13 states to work with birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Birds are her passion and working with condors has been a dream job come true. She hopes her research can contribute to conservation practices for birds and all other wildlife, and that by sharing her enthusiasm for the natural world, she will inspire others to love nature too.
