Ventana Wildlife Soc Mod • 13 hours ago Condor Update- 4/1/2021 @ 1030am
Hi Viewers- As most of you have observed, Condor 943 has half of a can lodged on his lower beak. We first noticed it yesterday via the cam and we aren't sure when exactly the can became lodged, but we suspect within the last few days. The cam was able to give us a very close look this morning and we can see that it is half of a can and that it looks to be very well lodged on the lower beak.
Our current plans are to attempt to recapture 943 ASAP to remove it and hope their is no serious beak damage. It doesn't appear to be at this stage, but we won't know until the can is removed. Trapping any wild condor is no easy feat, so please keep up the great observations while we try to help 943. We will keep you updated.
Nesting update- Redwood Queen and Phoenix are cruising right along and we hope to see the egg hatch in late April. The 7 other nests in central California are also doing well.
Quick note- The cams have been experiencing signal loss, we are working with Explore to trouble shoot the issues.
Thank you for your patience!

Ventana Wildlife Soc Mod https://disqus.com/by/ventanawildlifesoc/ • 2 days ago Condor Update 4/12/2021 @ 6 pm

Hi Viewers-
As most of you heard, Condor 943 was observed with a can lodged on his lower beak on 3/31/2021. We first noticed it on the cam and we suspect it became lodged on his beak a few days before we first observed the issue. The cam was able to give us a very close look at his beak on 4/3/2021, just before 943 left the Big Sur area. We were able to confirm that 943 was able to drink but was unable to eat. Condors need their powerful beaks to tear chunks of meat off the carcass and 943's beak has been rendered useless with the can preventing him closing his beak, very unfortunate situation for sure.

We have been in trap mode since we first observed the issue but had no luck in Big Sur. Since the fire, we have been without our release pen and our best means to recapture birds. The rebuild is ongoing but we are still months away from having our pen back in place. After leaving Big Sur on 4/4/2021, 943 was signaled a couple days later near Pinnacles on 4/6/2021.
Exciting development....Pinnacles biologists reported today that they spotted 943 for the first time (since he left BS on 4/3/2021), very close to their release pen. Their release pen can also trap condors, so hopefully 943 enters the trap today or tomorrow. The Pinnacles crew reported that 943 appeared alert and he was able to move around quite well, definitely good news considering his predicament. Keep checking back, we will give you another update once we have him trapped.

Nesting update- Redwood Queen and Phoenix are cruising right along and we are hoping for their egg to hatch on or about April 24th (we estimate the egg was laid on 2/26). Stay tuned to the nest cam and try to spot the pip site around that time. The 7 other nests in central California are also doing well and we expect to have more eggs hatching over the next couple weeks.

Condor Update- 4/19/2021 @9am

Great news! 943 was recaptured this weekend and is currently recovering at the Pinnacles flight pen after a thorough health exam. The can is now off his lower beak and we are happy to report that he suffered no long-term damage. He will be released after he has sufficiently recovered. Big kudos to our partners at Pinnacles for a successful capture. Find out more about 943, and other news, including the current nesting status of our wild pairs and the latest update on the San Simeon birds at the next zoom chat on 4/29/2021 at 4 pm, with special guest, Alacia Welch, the Condor Program Manager at Pinnacles National Park.

What a beautiful post, Pascale! :love: :love:
I just love to see that photo of E17 & E18 in their "spa towels". And E17 never stopped bonking either. That is when I knew they would be o.k. :roll:
And just look at how much they have grown!

Very sad news in Latvia Milda nest.
She had 3 eggs and her mate Raimis was missing after intruders showed up. Poor Milda had to leave the eggs often and for a long time.
One male finally stayed and started to brood eggs. Shortly after and very unexpectedly 2 eggs hatched, the step dad even brought food and fed the little ones sometimes. Everyone hoped...?
Early this morning the babies were left alone on nest under snow with freezing temperatures... both didn’t survive. Milda came back and did what she had to do with the youngest :cry1: :cryhanky:

RIP young babies - your lives were really too short :cry1:
Here’s a pic of the sweet little ones yesterday and their eggbert. They joined him, their suffering is over :cry1:
