"In the case of a flightless condor chick living in a cliff-side cave in the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, biologists think the fire and smoke were too far away to hurt the animal."
"About 20 condors spend at least part of the year in the Sespe Condor Sanctuary, which is just west of Lake Piru and was partly burned by the fire."

California Condor Hatchling Is at Risk as Wildfire Doubles in Size
Los Angeles Times, CA - Sep 19, 2006

"A California condor hatchling that was close to taking its first flight is at risk as flames scorch Sespe Wilderness in Los Padres National Forest."
The chick hatched in the forest's Sespe Condor Sanctuary on May 1 and was close to taking its first flight when the two-week-old wildfire roared back to life over the weekend, said Ivett Plascensia, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service."
"Biologists last saw the turkey-sized bird, dubbed No. 412, when they evacuated the sanctuary Friday at the urging of fire officials, Plascensia said. The fire has since doubled in size and biologists don't know when they will be allowed back in, she said."
"After coming close to extinction, California condors are rebounding in the wild, thanks to an aggressive federal
recovery program. About 61 of the large vulture-like birds soar the state's skies from Monterey to the Sespe sanctuary,
Freel said."
"Biologists are concerned about hatchling No. 412 because adult condors only recently resumed laying and rearing their young in the wild. Adults are protective but might abandon a chick if smoke and ash from the fire becomes too intense, Freel said."
"The chick is not yet fitted with a sensor, Plascensia said. But biologists may be able to tell if the young condor is still alive by tracking where its parents are, she said."
