Live condor cam - with egg!

• by wreness moderator

  Found this, didn't know if you'd be interested! Kind of a different view from looking at condors eating guts and entrails here.

  San Diego Zoo Live Condor Cam: She has an egg and is sitting on it as I type. Kind of cute if she wasn't so ugly. Egg is in corner, she's cuddled up with her head resting in the corner. I can't imagine how ugly that baby is going to be 😃

  Condor still sitting on her egg...camera angle inside compound has been changed to look down on condor and egg at a better angle and also at times shows her fantastic, amazing, HUGE enclosure at the zoo. I wish MY house was so cool! Condor is tagged Yellow 35 --- can one of our Scientists find the info on this bird? There is a loose feather on the sand floor of her nesting area I would desperately love to have :x It's kind of funny, seeing one of these birds flopped in a corner brooding an egg so tenderly, being so patient, when all I've seen of them so far are burning red eyes leaning over a dead carcass, eating guts 😃
