Affectionately nicknamed "Leonard" by biologists, 937 is a big, blundering boy. Leonard (937) is the first chick to be raised by power couple, Loner (311) and McWay (567). Loner (311) raised a chick with a former mate, but this was McWay (567)'s first time being a dad. We were thrilled to see this pair's first nesting attempt together succeed! Leonard (937)'s parents chose to nest in a popular redwood tree that had previously been occupied by a different condor pair. Loner (311) and McWay (567) then proceeded to ferociously defended their territory which happened to be very close to several other popular roost trees and flight paths.
At first, we mainly saw Leonard (937) with his parents, but as time went on, he began to spend more time exploring the coast with his juvenile condor friends. With the continued guidance of his tenacious and protective parents, and a strong social circle, we expect Leonard (937) to do well in the wild.
