And what's up with the albatrosses? The 120 BLACK-FOOTED ALBATROSSES we saw were an average number. But at least 80 were juvenile--the most we have ever seen--and the rest were very young birds with white undertail scores of zero or one on a scale of 0-5. There were no adults! The adults must have departed early this year for their mid-Pacific breeding islands.
