Second-Generation Wild Condor Born in Southern Big Sur
Miracle and Nomad, two California condors, have a chick—the first born in the wild in decades.
Since 1985, there have been no California condors born in the wild—until recently. Condor 538 (known as Miracle) and Condor 574 (known as Nomad) are now proud parents to a new chick (name and number TBD), and they’ve made their nest deep in the Big Sur hills. There are now 276 California condors in the wild.
