Thunderchief (758) was the only male and most dominant member of his release cohort. In fact, he was the largest of this group by several pounds, took food from all the other cohort members, and hogged the attention of visiting, free-flying condors. Thunderchief (758) was the thunderous chief of his cohort and, for this reason, shares his namesake with a U.S. military fighter plane.
Since his release into the wild, Thunderchief (758) has become quite the explorer. His escapades have taken him throughout the entire central California condor flock range, making him a tricky condor to track. Biologists plan to trap Thunderchief (758) again soon to equip him with a GPS transmitter so we can follow along on this male's free-spirited travels.
