These are fascinating, addicting after while
Explore has 2 condor cams
They operate on solar power so are intermittant
https://explore.org/livecams/condors/california-condor-sanctuary
They should begin pairing up this month or next, displaying, allopreening.
They dont breed til age 5+
Only lay ONE egg
Takes 6 months to fledge
Someone else started 2 condor threads

The FIRE
Aug 21, 2020 California Condor Sanctuary
3.30 am today the fire took out the cam.
They left the cam on til the fire took it out.
I watched for days as the fire came closer.
We hope the condor chick Iniko survives.
She did! She is in the zoo safe!

Big Sur Condors ~ Redwood Queen DEFENDS Iniko From Ninja #729!
Iniko Gets EJECTED From Nest 10.16.20
https://youtu.be/7uIyTma9SK0
Iniko - born in troubled times
https://explore.org/livecams/condors/california-condor-sanctuary
Iniko and his mother, Redwood Queen #190, survived the fire
Iniko's father, Kingpin #167, has not returned.
October 16 a 6-year-old male condor Ninja #729 moved in on Kingpin's territory and harrassed Iniko, forcing Iniko to leave the nest. Fortunately for Iniko, mother Redwood Queen arrived.
Iniko was nearly six months old and ready to leave the nest anyway.
I took pics off video
Iniko is INSIDE - I labled pic wrong
Videos were posted on Explore - see link on OP

Iniko is a GIRL!
We can expect courtship displays of pairs in December, maybe earlier.
I think we HAVE seen some on cam lately.
Informative video of the rescue - and more
https://youtu.be/DFnJvQ7DWZQ
Juvie condor heads are black, dont pink til after age 4
The chick doesnt fledge til about 6 months
Iniko was forced from his nest at about 6 months
It was noted she was limping so they captured her and took her to the Los Angeles Zoo. Her leg has a sprain but has healed and they found out its a GIRL. She will join a cohort of other juvie condors at the zoo - to be released to the wild later.
