Pete, In all the DDT reports I have read, and there have been many, I do not recall Condors being mentioned, ever. The birds most effected by DDT were the insect eaters and those that prayed on small rodents that ate crops and insects. Primarily Owls, Hawks, and Eagles. those birds have made an outstanding comeback with out any human intervention other than the cessation of DDT use. Condors on the other hand rely solely on the intervention of man and their survival rate once released into the wild is pretty low.  By the way, the South American/Andes Condor  is doing quit well and the only real difference between the two is where they live. So, extinction is really not an issue.
