​McWay was fostered by Condor #194 and Condor #171 in the remote reaches of a Big Sur Canyon. This bird is a very tough but cautious condor - he often seems to prefer taking a backseat and watching the drama rather than getting involved. 

He has recently paired for the first time with the older and more experienced #311. Their nest is near his natal canyon, and they did a wonderful job raising and fledging their first chick, #937.
