Some cool wildlife we have seen....


Laysan albatross nesting on the ground in a neighbor's yard. Their nesting behavior is one of the major reasons they are endangered. Last month an islander's 2 dogs ran loose through a nesting colony of albatrosses on the island and killed 18 birds. This was quite catastrophic since these birds only lay 1 egg a year. The owner was fined about $1,500.

We drive past this nest every day and we looked at them anxiously awaiting the hatching of their young one. Posted by Hello
