A camera recorded the first glimpse of Pittsburgh's newest African penguin Tuesday, about a day after the chick hatched at the National Aviary on the North Side.

Specialists expect his or her sibling to arrive Thursday.

The newly installed high-resolution camera, hosted live at triblive.com/babypenguins , has logged 57,000 views since its installation last week.

Shown in the crook of father Sidney's wing, the baby is about the size of a golf ball and covered in gray, downy feathers. Aviary officials will determine the pair's gender and weight once the second chick hatches.
