Bitter Creek NWR Bitter Creek Refuge was purchased to preserve and protect foraging habitat for the California condor. The refuge habitat is primarily grasslands with some pinyon pine-juniper community, scrub oak, and Bitter Creek riparian habitat. This refuge protects the habitat of a variety of plants and animals, including the endangered San Joaquin kit fox and blunt nosed leopard lizard. The last wild, free-ranging condor was trapped on the property and taken into captivity on April 19, 1987. Young condors released in California since 1992 occasionally use this important historic area for foraging and roosting.
