Miracle (538) is the first completely wild chick in Big Sur in over a century, making her appearance a truly momentous event in the history of the condor recovery program. Her parents, male condor, Shadow (209), and female condor, Tiny (236), laid, hatched, reared, and fledged her without management intervention. Because of this, Miracle (538) represents a positive step towards a more "hands off" approach.
After several years of exploring the whole coast, Miracle (538) paired with another wild reared condor, male condor, Nomad (574). They made history by being the first wild-born California Condors to nest and have a chick in the state since 1985. But that’s not all: They were able to successfully raise a male chick, Vincent (892), the first second-generation wild-born condor in decades!
