Reward in condor killing case increased to $15,000
The reward now totals $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting death of an endangered California condor.
The condor was found with a gunshot wound in July on private property near the Bitter Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Kern County. The bird later died.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service initially offered a $5,000 reward and the Center for Biological Diversity tripled it this week.
