Poseidon stood out because he was one of the most quarrelsome birds of his cohort; he was always picking fights with the other captives. He has even been seen trying to fight with a turkey vulture that was trying to steal his food. This gutsy behavior will serve him well now that he has been released into the wild. We welcome this bold condor to the flock, keep it up Poseidon! These days, Poseidon hangs out with his cohort buddy 716 and frequently flies between Big Sur and PNP, spending less time at San Simeon than in previous years.
