Unfortunately "Amigo" hit rock bottom in 2010 when was discovered in a cave near the Southern California condor flock severely injured. He was undetected for some time prior to this and we found he had suffered injuries to his wing, face and beak, fearing he had been hit by a car. After he was finally captured he was immediately rushed to the zoo for treatment and spent a long time recuperating to full health. He may have sustained some permanent damage, but Amigo is now back flying over the Big Sur canyon lands. However, due to his absence and accompanying loss of social status, his mate Cosmo (#222) has re-paired with condor #251 ("Crush") as he moved into her territory to fill Amigo's gap. Unfortunately, Amigo now spends a great deal of solo time in Big Sur as he navigates the complex social hierarchy which he once dominated. He often feeds alone and stays near the coast. He can be seen solo in Torre Canyon and spends a lot of time at Sea lion cove or in nearby Grimes Canyon.
