The Laysan Albatros survived many current threads like fish-lines, climate change, and plastic pollution.Wisdom has become a celebrity among bird lovers, and researchers are fascinated by her longevity and the number of young she raised. USFWS estimated Wisdom must have hatched more than 30 chicks in her lifetime. Every year she returns to her same nest on one of the three tiny coral islands that form the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge; it is the world's largest colony of albatrosses. Sailing above the oceans with her more than six-foot-wide wingspan, she must have an incredible mileage under her wings.
Wisdom’s knowledge of the world’s oceans and its food sources must be immense. Her story is just wonderful and I have followed her story for sometime. Thank you for this piece - something uplifting in this increasingly mad, over-populated world.
Thank you for sharing the story of Wisdom - that's amazing. I'm sure I've read about her before. It was nice to be reminded. I've always been fascinated by Albatrosses. Wish we had them here. Oh and penguins as well.
Love your winter video. Funny you mention winter sports in the Alps. I just got back from Zermatt. Still off-season up there, but they're getting ready for winter season.
I love this one! And love Wisdom! Thank you for this beautiful article & revisiting this incredible creature. I hope we can follow her fascinating life journey for many more years. The stories she could tell!
I love this story of Wisdom!!! What an extraordinary creature. I was enthralled with your video as the sky was such a clear intense brilliant blue 💙 Simply awesome.

Thank you for sharing the wisdom of "Wisdom" and February's snow. Which looks and sounds like every snowflake comes with a music note (-:
Amazing! I had no idea it was even possible for birds to live this long! Thanks for sharing.
