==Habitat== The California condor lives in rocky [[shrubland]], [[coniferous forest]], and [[oak savanna]].<ref name=IUCN/> They are often found near cliffs or large trees, which they use as nesting sites. Individual birds have a huge range and have been known to travel up to {{convert|250|km|mi|abbr=on}} in search of [[carrion]]. There are two sanctuaries chosen because of their prime condor nesting habitat: the Sisquoc Condor Sanctuary in the [[San Rafael Wilderness]]<ref>Gagnon, Dennis R. ''Hiking the Santa Barbara Backcountry''. The Ward Ritchie Press, Pasadena, California, 1974. {{ISBN|0-378-03542-8}}</ref> and the [[Sespe Condor Sanctuary]] in the [[Los Padres National Forest]]. The [[Los Padres Condor Range and River Protection Act of 1992]] expanded existing wilderness by {{convert|84,400| acres|ha|order=flip}} and designated {{convert|316,050| acres|ha|order=flip}} of new wilderness that provide habitat for the condor in the Los Padres.
