Condor (1100) is named for the beautiful Arbutus menziesii tree. Commonly known as Madrone, this beautiful tree is a part of the diverse native flora of California's central coast. Sturdy and strong, Madrone (1100) does not tolerate aggression from anyone and puts the other rookies in their place, especially during feeding time. Madrone (1100) is debatably the top bird, however, cohort member, Wild Bill (1085), continually competes with her for the official top spot.
Madrone (1100) is very tuned-in to the wild condors that come to visit the San Simeon release facility and remained fascinated by them long after her "roommates" lost interest. It was therefore no surprise when she was the first condor of her cohort to leave the pen on release day. Once the doors opened, she immediately took flight! Madrone (1100) had been waiting long enough to meet her wild friends and couldn't wait a second more!
Tragically, Madrone (1100) disappeared on June 23, 2023 and was declared dead a year later. Despite our efforts to locate Madrone (1100), we were unsuccessful. To this day, we do not know what happened to her in the wild.
