Yellow Tags

 

Condors with yellow wing tags with an underline are "1200" birds. This means that a yellow tag with an underlined 15 on it would be condor 1215. Ventana Wildlife Society has birds with yellow tags without an underline, these birds are "200" birds. These "200" birds are all adults (unlike the "1200" birds which are all currently juveniles) but can also be seen in the Pinnacles area from time to time.

Hatched: 5/7/2023 in a willd nest at Pinnacles
Sex: Female
Parents: Condors 589 and 569
Fun Fact: Her nest marks the third year in a row that parents 589 and 569 have successfully raised offspring - 1078 in 2021, 1145 in 2022, and now 1215 in 2023! This is very unusual for condors, which typically only have one offspring every two years!
