Bagged and Tagged

Last year's California Condor chick, #305, which was the first chick fully fledged in the wild since the start of the Condor Recovery Program in the late 80's, has finally been recaptured for data collection and re-released. #305 got it's "wing tags", a radio transmitter and a GPS transceiver. A blood sample was taken, so we should soon know whether it is male or female. Las Vegas line is 3:2 for female.
