A favorite pastime of young condors is to interact with sticks, feathers, plants, and anything else that can be found around the nest cavity. Here the Hutton's Bowl chick takes what looks like great excitement in pouncing and nibbling on loose feathers that have been strewn about the cave.

Thanks for watching! *********************************** About the Nest This condor nest, known as the Hutton's Bowl nest, is located near Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in Southern California. The parents of the chick in the Hutton's Bowl nest are mom #289 and dad #374. Both parents were hatched at the Los Angeles Zoo. Dad #374 hatched in 2005 and mom #289 hatched in 2002. This is their first nesting attempt together but both parents have had previous mates. When the nestling is four months old, it will receive a handmade wing tag with its studbook number, #923. #birdcams #live #condor #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #california
