April 02, 20162016 Nesting Season IntroductionOn March 2, 2016 a cam was installed in the new nesting cave of the Koford's Ridge condor pair. However, on March 20, their egg disappeared (likely predated)! Responding quickly, biologists inserted a fake egg into the nest the next day to ensure that the condor pair continued at the nest. Within 20 minutes, the female returned and resumed incubation. On April 2, biologists returned to replace the fake egg with a pipping egg from the captive breeding program at the LA zoo. The condor pair returned almost instantly and seemed to completely accept the pipping egg!


April 04, 2016Hatching chick!The condor chick started emerging from the egg early on April 4. It usually takes around 3 days for a chick to fully hatch from a pipping egg. Since the egg started pipping on April 2, we should see the chick emerge fully today! Here's a short highlight of the hatching.

Wow, thanks for this. I finally saw a California Condor in the wild in Big Sur. It was quite a thrill. The damn thing flew right over our heads. I got some nice pics of it. Magnificent creature.

right now the little white baby chick head is popping out of the wing of the parent....so amazing to watch this real time

I have it up all the time when I hear a peep I go back to see what's going on

I live in a place where hardly anyone realizes we have bald eagles ..I know where their nests are and go to see them often


watch this especially the end
