Condors with Tan Tags

 

Condors with tan tags are "900" birds, meaning a tan tag with a 12 on it would be condor 912.

912

Hatched: 3/30/2018 from a wild nest in Pinnacles National Park
Sex: Male
Parents: Condor 340 and Ventana Wildlife Society condor 236
Current Mate: none, yet
Fun Fact: Fledged from his nest almost a month early! Since December 2024, he has taken quite a “big-brother” role for the newly released birds. He helped them find pines to roost on and even fought other birds that were picking on them.

986

Name: Kawkikat, meaning "winged one" from the Acjachemen tribe
Hatched: 4/29/2019 at the San Diego Wild Animal Park
Sex: Male
Released in Pinnacles: 11/13/2020

996

Hatched: 5/25/2019 from a wild nest in Pinnacles National Park
Sex: Male
Parents: Condor 589 and Ventana Wildlife Society condor 569
Fun Fact: The parents' second offspring, after condor 878 (deceased 2020) in 2017. However, blood tests revealed that although 589 raised 996 as his own, he was not the biological father! 569, the mother, apparently had some alone time with condor 606 (deceased 2021) earlier in the year; this younger male turned out to be the real father of 996. Scandalous!
