Condor Update as of 13 September

Chick, #349, stands on rock during late afternoon stomp-and-romp.

September 13 was a busy day for Condor Watch observers at Hopi Point. The father, #122, of the chick, #349, in the Battleship nest came and fed the chick twice on this day. I finally had enough light to try for photos of this event, but winds limited the results.

However, I did get a fair shot of #349 "wing begging" to dad, #122.
