Based on the orange tag with a 20 on the left wing, this is AC-4. He’s a male condor who hatched in the wild in 1980, making him 44 years old. As far as I can tell, he is currently the oldest wild California Condor!!! He was flying with another individual in front of him who I didn’t have time to photograph
working on a collection of dredged micro mollusks with excellent locality data
dredged at 30-100 feet on a coralline algae substrate
I found this live snail attached to a blade of kelp on the Redondo Beach shore a little bit south of the topaz jetty.
I suppose even giants start somewhere.
