A is for Albatross!

This lovely bird is a Laysan Albatross
One of the most marvelous sights in the Pacific ocean is the graceful glide of a Laysan Albatross at play among the winds and waves. These expert soarers can travel hundreds of miles per day with barely a wingbeat. They nest on islands of the tropical Pacific, but they may head out to Japan, the Aleutian Islands, or California to feed. Laysan Albatrosses are numerous, though they face threats from longline fishing, plastic trash in the ocean, and predation by dogs, rats, and cats.

  3. From my window I mainly see (and hear) just squawking gulls and cooing pigeons, so this comes a pleasant change! And what a great bird to start with.

    My A-Z tale!

  4. Beautiful bird, we used to see them in the middle of the ocean, far away from land.

  5. They are interesting birds and I think there is a lot of folklore involving them as well.
