Back when #1003 was first handled he was temporarily given a tag with an exclamation point!  Back in July 2020, #1003 was briefly handled by biologists who decided to give him a temporary tag so that they could keep track of the juvenile while they waited for his official biological test results to come in. Lo and behold, his results arrived in October 2020 and #1003 was officially identified as the chick of #646 and #204. The next time #1003 was handled he was awarded his official tag with the number #3 (short for #1003).

 #1003 is named "Katie's Bird" in honor of Katie Lannon, a longtime and beloved VWS employee. Katie was only 34 when she lost her battle with cancer. Learn more about Katie Lannon.
