When Vincent (892) was born, he made history by becoming the first chick of two wild-born California Condor parents in CA since 1985. Vincent (892) is the first second-generation, wild-born condor in decades! Because he was raised in an unstable redwood tree, biologists were unable to climb-up and tag him before he left the nest. After several months of flying free, biologists caught the young condor and drew blood to determine his gender and confirm his parentage.

The name "Vincent" seemed appropriate for this young fellow, as it is rooted in the Latin word 
vincere meaning "to conquer". In keeping with his namesake, Vincent (892), did in fact conquer the skies of Big Sur in his first year, exploring the steep canyons and towering trees of his natal territory and beyond. Welcome to the flock, Vincent (892). We're glad you're here!

In 2023, we filmed Condor Canyon, an original wildlife documentary featuring members of the central California flock, including Vincent (892). Click the button below to find out how you can watch this compelling film!
