A Laysan Albatross in Honolulu County, Hawaii (3/20/2006). Becky and I were absolutely blown away today to watch about 28 Laysan Albatrosses at Kaena Point, O'ahu. We were speechless and delighted, as this was truly one of the most wonderful natural events we've ever seen! The group included at least one adorable chick, which the entire group seemed to fawn over. For those of you new to albatrosses, these beautiful seabirds have wingspans up to 7 feet, and engage in ritualized dancing on the breeding grounds.
