LAYSAN ALBATROSSES!

Our March 1st trip found 8 LAYSAN ALBATROSSES and a MANX SHEARWATER!

20 April 2008 update: Well, the first of our two trips this spring targeting LAYSAN ALBATROSSES was a great success!

Unfortunately, unseasonable weather (can you believe it--an April snowstorm on the beach?!) kept us from going out on April 19th. What makes this even more painful is the reports from the prior week of PARAKEET AUKLETS and MOTTLED and MURPHY'S PETRELS from a research trip working just offshore.

Our next trips start in August. No snow then!

Please join us!

I now belong to a higher cult of mortals for I have seen the albatross.
