New Short-tailed Albatross

A fourth short-tailed albatross was spotted over by the harbor. The other ones haven't been seen for a while though so it might not find them this year. It looks a little older than the other two sub-adults that were here. It would be nice if it returns in the fall.

We had another busy day of albatross banding and spraying verbesina. Again, we still have a lot to go on both fronts though.

For anyone who makes comments on my blog, I have made it a little more difficult. All you have to do is read a word and type it in. It will at least slow down those people who are posting SPAM comments. Anytime you see a comment with poor english and a link to something, it's probably garbage.

This is the new short-tail sitting in the trees by the harbor.
