Info on California Condors Redwood Queen and Phoenix (The links are not working for me that they provide below about Phoenix, but I have asked about it and no response as yet.): Ventana Wildlife Soc Mod • 3 hours ago • edited CONDOR UPDATE- 3/5/21 Hi Viewers, We are so excited to report that Redwood Queen (190, red tag 90) is nesting with Phoenix (477, white tag 77). We had a sneaking suspicion they may have started nesting last week when we noticed they were not showing up together at the Sanctuary. VWS Biologist, Stephanie Herrera, hiked up there yesterday (3/4/21) to see if Redwood Queen returned to her old nest site. Stephanie called over the radio, "Redwood Queen and Phoenix are here and they are incubating an egg!" The entire crew was beyond elated, we couldn't dream up a better scenario for Redwood Queen. Phoenix had a similar experience to Iniko in that his redwood nest was burned over by a wild fire in 2008 and we thought for sure he had perished. Phoenix's redwood nest was much taller (180 feet) than Iniko's and we could not see in to the cavity from below. We decided the best option was to climb the tree and take a look. Upon arriving to the top of the tree we found Phoenix alive and well, and hence the name "Phoenix", he literally rose from the ashes. You can watch a video of the climb from 2008- https://youtu.be/dXiVszDf5_o Learn more about Phoenix- https://www.ventanaws.org/condor477.html We suspect they laid the egg last week (approx. 2/26/21), so we anticipate the egg to hatch at the end of April (approx. 4/24/21). The natural incubation time for a condor egg is 57-60 days, so give or a take a day or two on that hatch date. What to expect the next couple months? The pair share in incubation duties and will switch out every couple days or even a couple times per day, there is some variation. They sometimes will leave the egg for brief stints of time (up to 15 mins), so no need to worry. What happens after hatch? This is when activity really picks up as the pair have to feed the chick almost around the clock. As the chick grows larger, the activity just keeps going up. Condor chicks reach full size at about 6 months in age, which is when they typically fledge from the nest and then spend the next year following mom and dad around learning how to fly and survive in the wild. The timing worked out well for this because we had just finished our repairs of the Big Sur Sanctuary cam when we learned of the new nest, so it couldn't have been better timing. This will be a fun for all, so sit back and enjoy the ride! Thank you! -VWS Condor Field Team VWS responded right away and here is the link for the bio on Phoenix, although not current. And I believe I have read that the chick Phoenix raised mentioned here was not actually his. Will have to do research. https://www.ventanaws.org/condor477.html And here is the link from 2008 after the fire Phoenix was involved in as a chick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXiVszDf5_o It is a was quite a feat as this nest cavity that Phoenix was raised in was 180 feet above the ground. Much higher than Iniko's nest cavity. And they show the climbing crew at the nest cavity with Phoenix! And I was correct that Phoenix was not the biological father of the chick he raised. Her name was Madelaine #936 and here is her bio: https://www.ventanaws.org/condor936.html The link for Redwood Queen and Phoenix's nest is: And Redwood Queen is currently on duty. The cam is solar-powered and sometimes will be showing highlights when not working. |

As best as I could tell, Phoenix remained on egg duty after night fell again tonight. Takes some getting used to that one of the condor parents may remain on egg duty for 2 or more days before switching out with the other parent, but they will leave the egg for a short break/breaks during the day. I know he took at least one break today. |

Redwood Queen remains on egg duty. Snow flurries earlier this morning at Big Sur. Phoenix was there eating again sometime near the midday. Screen capture of Phoenix eating by Keli loves cats: |
