Condor Chick Plays With Loose Feathers – August 2, 2018

From the creator

A favorite pastime of young condors is to interact with sticks, feathers, plants, and anything else that can be found around the nest cavity. Here the Hutton's Bowl chick takes what looks like great excitement in pouncing and nibbling on loose feathers that have been strewn about the cave.
