Looks like the condor stag movies technique and the viagra infused birdseed worked.

I know someone who works with California condors, and the lead-poisoning issue is a real problem. Lead ammunition has been banned in California for quite some time, but the law isn't being enforced at all. It's very sad.

I know what you mean. I'm not sure when lead was banned but when I volunteered at Lake Merrit in Oakland, we would get birds, mainly geese, who weren't shot but ingested lead shot. They seemed fine, but any stress at all would trigger a reaction in which the birds would lose equilibrium. If this happened when they were in the water, they drowned.

As far as the law not being enforced I would have to diagree with that, if you are in a lead free area you will be checked if a ranger is in the area, I've been checked a few times. Remember lead is not banned in Ca. it is banned in Condor areas.
Hunter don't seem to have any problem with the lead free areas and it has been noted how much hunters have helped in the studies.
The largest problem has been the availability of lead free ammo, Ca. government promised they would work with suppliers and as everything they do they failed to get the ball rolling but it has gotten better.
