| Not until age six will a young condor molt its brown feathers and grow the black-and-white plumage of adults. |
| Our requests were answered almost immediately as a condor soared magnificently over our heads at the second pass. |
| After the condor landed to feed, a signal was given and the men swooped down from all sides, shouting and swinging their lassos and ponchos. |
| We do not have an outdoor mew to accommodate this size of bird and it's too cold outside for the condor now anyway. |
| For instance, on August 15, 2003, biologists observed a baby condor, estimated at 15 to 16 weeks old, in a remote cave in the Grand Canyon. |
| Two of the captive birds successfully mated and produced the first captive-bred condor chick the following year. |
