Loner was raised using the condor head puppet technique. She has no problem being in the wild, although she seems rather shy and often sticks to the fringes of social gatherings. Loner took several years past reaching maturity to pick a mate but eventually paired with #242, and successfully raised a chick (#769). AAfter the untimely death of her first mate, #242, she paired with #567 and successfully raised #937. Unfortunately, #567 recently died from lead poisoning, but 311 has been able to find another mate in #665.
#311 has an injured toe that veterinarians have determined would be too invasive to fix, but it hasn't stopped her from standing her ground! She has a slight limp, but this tough old broad won't let anything stop her from protecting her chicks.
