​Back to All Condor Bios

#992 “Ember”

​Hatch Location & Date: Big Sur, 4/18/2019

Release Date: Wild Reared

​Parents:  #574 and #538

​Local Biological Siblings: #892

Currently #992 is flying free- without a tag! Biologists hope to capture this chick soon to not only to tag it but also to get a blood sample so they can determine the gender. Our hope is that one day all the wild condors will be tag-less like #992. We are not quite there yet; the radio and GPS tags are still critically important tools that inform us how long condors are surviving in the wild.

More info and photos coming soon!
