21.10 Rescue of a young female Iniko - https://www.facebook.com/VentanaWildlifeSociety/videos/353649905887694/
21.10 UPDATE Ventana Wildlife Society From VWS 20/20/20: A young condom female, Iniko, who was pushed out of her nest for the first time on Friday, was rescued by the Ventana Field Crew crew on Monday afternoon after they found out that Iniko had suffered a leg injury. Iniko's father, No. 167 Kingpin, had been missing since the Dolan Fire burned the condor sanctuary in August, leaving Queen No. 190 Redwood to take care of Iniko herself. Iniko was ready for flight (she was flying for the first time) when a six-year-old Condor No. 729 Ninja began to appear in Kingpin's territory and pushed Iniko out of the nest on Friday, October 16. Iniko landed safely under a redwood tree... read more
17.10 I managed to find a biography of a male 729 Ninja Looking at his biography, a male 729 Ninja is 6 years old and has no partner. He hatched in a redwood cavity, so he returned home. Maybe he's interested in Redwood Queen and territory. His biography: Male Place and date of hatching: Big Sur, April 1, 4 Date of issue: Bred Parents: # 2014 and # 168 Local biological siblings: # 208 and # 431 Breed status: Odd Offspring: No Condor # 606 has it lucky to follow in the footsteps of his half-brother # 729. He hatched in the same nest; giant redwoods with... read more
Update - Ventana Wildlife Society Hello everyone - what a wild end to the day! Life in the wild is unexpected and that is exactly what we saw this afternoon. We try to label condors, they live in the moment and they are ALWAYS trying to improve in the flock. We have learned so much about the behavior of condors over the years, but we always need to understand more. We believe that kondor729 simply tries to secure a highly valued territory. This type of behavior leads species to survive and maintain strength. We are upset by the loss of the male King Pin, but we also know that another male must come in his place. Fortunately, Iniko (in... read more
Camera 1- 16.10. time 23.00 CET - a foreign condor arrives 17.10. time 01.30 CET - he arrives again, behind him the female R. QUEEN probably washes in the nest and takes Iniko away. She is later seen on the ground, there is also a female and a foreign condor with her.
That wasn't a pretty sight. I hope Iniko can do it, she already has time to start flying.
15.10 - Camera 2 17:20 CET there are condors in the feeding field and there is also a young rock eagle
12.10. time 00.45 CET the female came to feed Iniko 🙂 I saw her for two days in a row at the feeding ground (number on the wing 90).
7.10 - 18:30 CET camera 2 condors at the feeding ground!
6.10 - 23:25 Iniko stretches her wings and climbs the cavity, she is beautiful 🙂
The tree is charred, Iniko was very brave. As you write, she is beautiful 🙂
UPDATE Ventana Wildlife Society Hi everyone, Last month and a half for our condor project it was a long hard journey, but I'm glad we have Explore cameras back. The VWS condor team had to undertake several trips / long hikes to the burned areas to replace the damaged camera equipment at the Sanctuary and Iniko's nest. Many thanks to Explore for sending us the new equipment so quickly! The new external view of the Iniko nest will not disappoint. The nesting camera will operate during limited hours of the day to protect power and maximize Iniko time. Iniko is doing well and the female Queen Redwood is doing everything she can to hold on... read more

25.9. Update - Ventana Wildlife Society A few days ago we reported our concern for "Inika", one of the condor cats that survived the Dolan fire. It turned out that "Iniko" did not eat well and was lethargic. While we were considering various possible ways to save this girl, Evan McWreath, a VWS biologist, went out to the nest today to check on "Inika" and was thrilled to see what he found. Today Evan saw that "Iniko" was recently fed! Evan knew this from the crop full on the girl's chest. This crop is used to store food for later digestion and is... read more
23.9 Update - Ventana Wildlife Society Thank you all for your concerns and wishes. Many of you are asking about "Iniko," a young condor who survived the Dolan Fire. We were concerned about the well-being of "Iniko" after finding out that the mother of "Iniko", "Redwood Queen", had been out of the nest for a long time. Our field biologists went to the burnt redwood tree to watch "Iniko" and "Redwood Queen" more closely. What they saw was very disturbing. "Iniko" did not ask for food from "Redwood Queen". This is worrying because condor parents are encouraged to feed their young by begging for food. Furthermore, "Iniko" had little energy. We immediately kicked... read more
UPDATE 15.9/2020 1022 Ventana Wildlife Society (VWS) biologist Joe Burnett returned from a field in low souls yesterday with the sad news that two cubs, # 1029 and # 20, had not survived the Dolan Fire. ′ ′ My heart is broken because I have dedicated my life to these birds for more than XNUMX years. Losing whatever is a tragedy, but we will rise from the ashes and rebuild the condor sanctuary and continue our mission to restore this species, ”said Joe Burnett, VWS Condor Program Manager. Three of the five condor cubs survived, including "Iniko." Iniko was named by the public as viewers around the world watched the girl and her parents.... read more
sad what fire can do, I admire people who can help condors in those conditions. I believe that more will be found and the losses will not be so high.
