Third Condor Chick Hatches in Southern California Back-Country

For the third time this year a California condor chick has hatched in the wild. The inside of the nest cave is deep and obscured by bushes so biologists are unable to see the chick. However, increased activity by both parents at the nest indicate that the egg hatched on Tuesday May 28 . The nest is adjacent to the Sespe Condor Sanctuary of the Los Padres National Forest in the rugged back country of California
