Orange are iNaturalist observations.

You can get some idea of what the state/province designations are from the Status tab on the species page.
Be aware the imported IUCN maps (pink shading) are not always that accurate, either over-predicting or under-predicting the actual range. I don’t know if that’s that case for California Condor (the historical range); its distribution has obviously changed a lot in recent times, including due to reintroductions. Apparently there are old records for Alberta and Washington State. We even have one fairly recent record from New Mexico, a wanderer from the AZ/UT experimental population (not on iNat).
