#567 “McWay” In Memoriam
Sex: Male
Hatch Location & Date: Big Sur, 4/25/2010 (Laid at the World Center for Birds of Prey)
Release Date: Wild Reared
Breeding Status: Paired with #311
Offspring: #937
Deceased: 10/10/20, Necropsy pending.
McWay was fostered by Condor #194 and Condor #171 in the remote reaches of a Big Sur Canyon. This bird was a very tough but cautious condor - he often seemed to prefer taking a backseat and watching the drama rather than getting involved.
He was paired with the older and more experienced #311. Their nest was near his natal canyon, and they did a wonderful job raising and fledging their first chick, #937.
567 showed resilience for as long as he could after surviving the Dolan Fire in 2020. He truly was a Big Sur bird, and one we would frequently see along the coast and at our release site.
