==Range and habitat==
==Range and habitat==
New-world vultures are found throughout North and South America, ranging roughly from extreme southern Canada south to Tierra Del Fuego, with the turkey vulture (''Cathartes aura'') inhabiting that entire range. New-world vultures live in almost all habitats of their distribution area; in contrast to the old-world vultures, which inhabit open landscapes, New World vultures occur in forests and closed bush lands. Both the turkey vulture and the black vulture (''Coragyps atratus'') have extended their ranges in recent years, taking advantage of human food waste areas (fish markets, dumps, etc) as well as road-killed animals. At the opposite end the California condor (''Gymnogyps californianus'') has been restricted in its own range in the southwestern United States; once at the brink of extinction, the condor is making a slow comeback, and with human help has been reintroduced to parts of its historical range in northwestern Arizona and Baja California in Mexico.
