#294 was known as "Late Bloomer" but had shown some signs that she may have been ready to nest. Her closest condor companions appeared to be affected by her loss from the flock.
She took a little longer to mature than the rest of her cohort, hence her nickname, "Late Bloomer". Her head was still a mottled pink and black when the others her age were nearly all pink. Despite her delayed physical development, she was always a very curious and opportunistic bird. Her ability to stealthily slide into the feeding circle and get her fill was very amusing. Her social skills were quite honed and she was often seen hanging out with a group of other condors older than herself.
She split her time between the Big Sur coast and Pinnacles National Monument, where she enjoyed new views and company. Since she was older than all of the birds released at Pinnacles, these trips give her a chance to exert her dominance and gain more self-esteem before returning home.
