What a gripping experience to read about; I can only imagine what it was actually like. Your condor 79 seems to be a very intelligent condor, doing what she feels is necessary to protect her precious egg. I'm glad you didn't fall victim to her nest-protecting assaults. Wonderful that it's a fertile egg. I hope it will produce another valuable condor, hopefully the first of many this season. Thanks so much for this blog!
