A rare California condor egg has hatched in Pinnacles National Park.According to the National Park service, parents of the nestling are condors 589 (managed by Pinnacles) and 569 (managed by Ventana Wildlife Society).The park says the eggs hatched on April 12.On a social media post Pinnacles National Park says the two parents have been a pair for about five years now and this is their third offspring. The park says 1,078 still must survive six more months in the nest relying on its parents completely for food and protection and, if all goes well, 1078 will learn to fly sometime in mid-October and will then spend up to another year with its parents, slowly gaining more independence as they show it how to find food and integrate into a wild condor flock.The nest will be checked at least twice during the next six months by Pinnacles staff in order to test the chick for lead poisoning, remove any trash, do general health checks, and eventually give the nestling its own tag and transmitter so it can be monitored once it learns to fly.The California condor has been protected as an endangered species by federal law since 1967 and by California state law since 1971. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, there are about 160 California condors flying free in Central and Southern California.
