Condor (1318), offspring of Fuego (470) and Sottow (962), joined the flock in late November of 2024 when they fledged, leaving the safety of their nest cavity. This nest cavity is so deep that biologists did not have a sighting until Condor (1318) was old enough, and strong enough, to jump to the top of the cavity. Up until this visual sighting by one of our biologists, monitoring Condor (1318) was done solely by tracking the movements of their parents through radio telemetry (both parents' GPS units are currently non-functioning) and observing them come and go from the nest tree.
Biologists are waiting for Condor (1318), who is yet to receive their nickname, to show up at the Big Sur Sanctuary so that they can be trapped. They will then receive their tags, GPS unit, radio transmitter, vaccines, health check and DNA test to confirm sex and parentage. We will then know a little more about them to consider their nickname. We will be sure to keep you posted!
