C9999 California Condor 0192
When new condors are released, biologists will usually put out food (in this case a stillborn calf) to keep the new birds close by so they can be monitored for the first few days. The three new birds that were released three days prior to this were not in this shot, but they were close by. So the other wild birds often get a free meal too, in this case #791, #810, #846, #864 and #933 were the lucky ones. #933 is a noteworthy bird as he is the offspring of AC4 (#20) that was born in the wild in Santa Barbara County last year.
