Subject: [MDBirding] WISDOM [62 year old albatross] is a MOM


See the WASH POST below the fold today on page A1 for the story.� You can get it on-line by searching for the:

Headline:� This albatross is no empty-nester

or the author:� Darryl Fears.

This bird was mentioned on the old listserver when it� was feared that she might have been lost due to the Japanese tsunami of 2011.� My memory is that the nest site was swept by 3 +/- foot waves but Wisdom survived.

As a bonus there is, as a part of the story, an interview with Chan Robbins.� According to the article Chan was the person who initially banded the bird in 1956 at�Midway Atoll.
