#condor on right, tag is red, clearly seen and number noted, yet system said 'unknown'? Someone must know it.

That is actually orange. A quick way to distinguish is that the red tags have white letters and the orange have black letters.

What a beautiful video - I can't get over how gentle that bird is! I wish I could send her some flowers and a box of eyeballs or something!

The egg is now an adorable chick and O79 is still looking like mother of the year: http://goo.gl/0Jn7Qk
