Sep. 28--Centennia has set another record.
The first California condor chick successfully hatched in the wild in Monterey County in more than 100 years, Centennia took her first flight from her cave nest in Big Sur on Wednesday, said Joe Burnett, senior wildlife biologist with the Ventana Wildlife Society.
It was another landmark this year in the Wildlife Society's condor recovery program, he said, accomplished by the same bird.
"She's out on the wing. She is now an official wild-fledged bird. It's a pretty historic day."
