Sometimes you just need a little sun! Watch the chick from the Hutton's Bowl Condor cam jump across this rocky gap to bask in the sun-soaked crag on the other side. At nearly six months of age, #923 is really starting to build its flight muscles with these short flights around the canyon!

The California Condor cam is a collaboration between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Santa Barbara Zoo, the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology, and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. 

This view of the Hutton's Bowl California Condor Nest is a new view set up from across the canyon, giving a view of the nesting area as well as the surrounding cliff faces that the chick #923 has been traversing. If the chick's not visible on this cam, be sure to check on the nest cam itself at http://allaboutbirds.org/condors

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.
