One day after slipping down the dusty slope surrounding the Hutton's Bowl nest, wily #923 is back in the nest cavity and seeming none the worse for wear! Watch the young condor spend part of its morning zig-zagging across the nest cavity, only slowing down to nibble on rocks (and camera equipment).

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.
