(3) 4-6 Scientists in the Field series. Photographs by Tianne Strombeck. Veteran science writer Montgomery provides insight into the work of saving the California condor. This book focuses on Dr. Estelle Sandhaus, director of conservation science at the Santa Barbara Zoo, and her team of wildlife biologists, who have successfully reintroduced the species into the wild. With characteristic enthusiasm for her subject, Montgomery discusses how the zoo cares for condors in captivity, meticulously tracks birds in the wild, and learns from successes and mistakes. Both the passionate text and well-captioned color photos encourage respect for these impressive birds. "What You Can Do" suggestions are appended, as are a timeline, bibliography, related websites, and index.
