Parents are Sisquoc and Shatash - male and female respectively I believe.  Male has a wing tag, female does not.
Single chick hatched on March 10th.

Winner of the Name the Chick Contest:

Saticoy – “It is sheltered from the wind.” - Our friend who suggested this name wrote, “It is a protected baby, sheltered from the dangers to its species by the captive breeding program. It also goes well with the parents’ names.” (Submitted by Emma Apple via Facebook)
