One site says 44, each wearing a transmitter, have flown out of harm's way. Another says one, a mom of one of the endangered chicks, is missing.<BR/><BR/>There seem to be 3 chicks. One in an area where a fire went thru, condition unknown, nest 200 ft high, so some dim hope remains, but I assume the parents are not there to feed him or her if the chick survived. The other 2 chicks are in an area where a fire is encroaching and rescuers can't get there. Think good damp coast thoughts. I didn't find an article saying where the parents of these 2 chicks were.<BR/><BR/>Map of two condor nests and fire location here:<BR/>http://www.mercurynews.com/portlet/article/html/imageDisplay.jsp?contentItemRelationshipId=2006299<BR/><BR/>Eight condors who were being prepared to be released were rescued, rescue story here:<BR/>http://malibusurfsidenews.com/stories/200807/20080703001.html<BR/>I don't know if these count as part of the 44 or not.<BR/><BR/>A note about humans, state firefighting resources having run out, individuals are fighting fires in groups:<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/07/us/07firefighters.html<BR/>(political announcement) Where's the National Guard?
