Phoenix #477 performs a long wing-out courtship display to Redwood Queen #190. She seems to be interested in his attentions... 😊
The infamous Ninja #729 is also on the scene. He gets booted off a carcass by Phoenix #477 at the end of the courtship display 😜
Phoenix #477 was paired with Pinnacles condor #547 (F) since 2018.
#547 was last spotted in Big Sur on Nov 4th, and her transmitter has failed .
Phoenix #477 and #547 successfully raised their first chick, Madeline #936, in 2018. However, it turned out that #936 was fathered by another condor, #209 Shadow. #477 and #547 did not produce offspring in 2020.
Just like Redwood Queen's daughter Iniko #1031, Phoenix survived the devastating Basin Complex wildfire in 2008, protected by another giant 180ft tall Redwood tree [ Ссылка ]
