Zephyr (631) was released in the spring of 2014. The crew named him "Zephyr", which means, "a westerly, or light wind". He was given this name because the first flights he took after he was released were meandering flights that took him away from the release slope for a couple weeks. After taking it all in for 19 days, and making VWS biologists a little nervous in the process, Zephyr (631) finally made it back to the release site to feed and socialize. Phew!
Zephyr (631) is an up-and-coming dominant member of the flock and has been seen frequently with Condor (745). These two males appear to have established a territory together, giving them an advantage in their search for a female condor to complete their trio. Both Zephyr (631) and Condor (745) have made valiant attempts at winning the affection of young female condor, Minerva (881), and she appears to have taken a liking to the duo. Although all of them would be first-time breeders, we think they’d make great parents!
