Big news!!! After more than six months of growing up and exploring the areas around its nesting cave, California Condor chick #1160 fledged on the afternoon of November 16. Watch the chick enter the next stage of development from the cross-canyon cam. Perched on the cliff below the nesting cave, the 185-day-old condor opened its wings and launched into a confident flight, soaring down the canyon and out of frame. Now that #1160 has fledged, the youngster will remain semi-dependent on its parents
