For the third year in a row the public has the unique opportunity to get up-close-and-personal with a California condor chick through livestreaming video of a California condor nest. The chick, 50-days-old today, and its parents live in the remote mountains near Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in Ventura County, California. Credit: Stephanie Herrera/USFWS   Welcome! You can watch the Devils Gate condor webcam located in Los Padres National Forest, one of the first webcams to stream live video of California condors nesting in the wild. This recently installed nest camera located near the Hopper Mountain National Wildlife Refuge in southern California, will be streaming continuously throughout the year. "Webcam viewers will see the rich social interactions of these intelligent birds, such as the two adults sharing parental duties, and their interactions with each other and the chick," said Dr. Estelle Sandhaus, director of conservation and research at the Santa Barbara Zoo. "Condor chicks actually engage in 'play,' by pouncing on and grabbing feathers and sticks, for instance. It's a thrill to watch the chick grow, learn, and play under the watchful eyes of its dedicated parents."   Watch the video and learn more!       Stay Connected with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region     This email was sent using GovDelivery, on behalf of: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Pacific Southwest Region · 2800 Cottage Way · Suite W-2606 · Sacramento, CA 95825
