Big Sur🐦One Legged Condor Junipero Is A Rare Guest At Feeding Slopes🌙Explore.org 2023-04-29

BIG SUR
I've been following Junipero since 2020. He somehow injured his foot in September 2021 and has completely lost his leg above heel by December 2021.
His resilience and will to survive, despite the loss of his leg, mate and chick, never ceases to amaze me.

The story of Junipero in videos: • One legged condor...
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 9eJ6iLauhA

From VWS:
"Junipero (663) was the second chick to have been laid and raised in the wild by Shadow (209) and Tiny (236), having been preceded by his sister, Miracle (538). Both chicks are a testament to spectacular parenting skills and represent the return of wild-raised condors. Not surprisingly, Junipero (663) is one of our wildest birds. He took his first flight in the shadow of Junipero Serra Peak, the tallest mountain in the Big Sur coast range, hence his nickname "Junipero". Since he had not been handled before fledging, he did not have a radio transmitter or identification tag. He eluded capture for over a year, and we were only able to keep tabs on him if we saw him hanging out with other condors. We didn't even know if he was male or female since the sexes are visually indistinguishable. We were extremely excited when the Pinnacles National Park condor team trapped him for the first time in the summer of 2013. Junipero (663) was fitted with a radio transmitter and tag, and we used blood samples to determine his sex. Now that he was able to be tracked more closely, biologists learned that he spent most of his time along the Big Sur coastline but had begun venturing from his natal territory to explore inland areas near Pinnacles National Park. He even made a trip down to the southern California flock and back!

In 2021, Junipero (663) paired with Pinnacles National Park Condor 438. These two birds were raising a chick together in a redwood tree in Big Sur when tragedy struck and Junipero (663)'s mate died of undetermined causes. This left Junipero to care for the pre-fledged chick on his own. After Condor 438's death, Junipero battled his own health issues, including losing his left leg to unknown causes. Sadly, Junipero (663) and Condor 438's chick was declared dead in 2022 after it was noticed that Junipero (663) had abandoned his nesting territory and his chick had not been seen for over a year."

Angel consumed part of her dead chick and then took the remainder out of the nest. The second egg has a pip, hopefully the new chick will thrive. :-)

Thank you for this great story, Philippe! :thumlft: :hug: :rh:
And the video is so great! A hungry owlet got some food! But he/she needs more, making hungry sounds that hungry owlets usually make at the end...so, so sweet! :rh:
I love owlets and owls! :rh:
(I used to watch and report on a nest box of the owls in Estonia, but looked like nobody survived the last season the cam was there :cry1: )
