You can watch a pair of California condors, among the most endangered birds in the world, as they raise a new baby in view of a webcam set up by scientists at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park.

Sisquoc and Shatash take turns sitting in their nest incubating an egg! Because every California condor egg is so important, their real egg has been removed for now to an incubator under the close watch of the keepers, while the parents take care of a life-like artificial egg. During the last few days of incubation, the real, fertile egg will be returned, and the parents will begin raising the chick. That’s expected to happen in March!

To date, 171 condors have hatched at the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park since the California Condor Recovery Program started in the 1980s. Sisquoc, born on March 30, 1983, was the program’s first hatchling. At that time, there were only 22 California condors left in the world. Today, there are about 400 : Watch a Baby Condor Hatch and Grow on Live Webcam

Workers on camera are currently reviewing  petition pages.

The workers at the site are a combination of G.A.B. staff and temporary staff hired for this project. Work is currently proceeding during two shifts each day.

The camera is generally fixed in one position and is not controlled remotely or otherwise adjusted during the course of the day. The audio is turned off.

Each petition page is being reviewed by two separate reviewers to ensure each signature complies with legal requirements. The petitions are in packages of 50 pages.  These packages must be checked out and checked in each time they are reviewed. The results of these reviews will be tracked in a database. Additional checks (duplicates for example) will also be completed later in the process. Click here to watch the webcam.
