May 20, 2021 Nine California condors have hatched so far this spring at the Oregon Zoo’s Jonsson Center for Wildlife Conservation — the biggest batch of chicks in the zoo’s 18-year effort to save the critically endangered species from extinction. And while the condors themselves don’t know it, zoo caregivers have kept a watchful eye the entire time, cheering at each fuzzy new arrival. Visible security cameras from Teledyne FLIR LLC — installed at the Jonsson Center last December — are providing improved views into the nesting areas and 24/7 observation of the condors, helping zoo staff better monitor the health of chicks and parents.
