This time-lapse video recorded July 20-21, 2024 features endangered California condors roosting within view of ALERTCalifornia's Blue Mtn Kern cameras. In both time-lapse clips you can see the moonset, sunrise, and condors waking up for the day.
The first clip from early Saturday morning (7/20) features an individual with a white #62 tag, which identifies him as male condor #462 from the Southern California flock. He is 16 years old and was born in the wild.
The second clip starts at sunset and runs completely overnight (7/20-21). The yellow "Y" tag identifies another individual from the Southern California flock as male condor #784 "Eeuukey" who is 9 years old and was born at the Los Angeles Zoo

Though they are great for bird watching, UC San Diego's cameras are primarily used to monitor for natural hazards like wildfires, atmospheric rivers, flooding, and more. ALERTCalifornia's camera sensors can see 60-70 miles on a clear day and more than 120 miles on a clear night. These cameras provide emergency managers with the information they need to respond to and monitor hazards like wildfires in real time.

About ALERTCalifornia:
ALERTCalifornia provides state-of-the-art technology that supports data-driven decisions to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters.
Based at the University of California San Diego, ALERTCalifornia is a public safety program working to understand wildfires and other natural hazards, and determine short and long-term impacts on people and the environment to inform management decisions.
The state-focused program manages a growing network of more than 1,087 monitoring cameras and sensor arrays (as of July 2024), and collects data that provides actionable, real-time information to inform public safety. In addition to the camera network, and in response to increasingly frequent and severe climate-driven disasters, ALERTCalifornia is prioritizing novel data collection and research. These data are shared with fellow institutions and partners.
Advanced technology offers fresh insight into the cascading disasters associated with wildfires, such as post-fire debris flows, floods, and erosion. These data will lead to a greater understanding of natural disasters and their long-term pacts on air, water, and soil quality as well as human health in California.
Our multidisciplinary team is based at UC San Diego’s Jacobs School of Engineering, Qualcomm Institute, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. We also work closely with partners like CAL FIRE across the state.
