Laysan Albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis), near Cordell Bank on 22 September 2019
P.S. A follow-up the to Laysan Albatross that I showed in a blog post on 27 August 2019. That albatross had a numbered leg band that could be read from photographs. Alvaro followed up and learned that individual was from a nest on Isla Zapato, an islet just south of Guadalupe Island off Baja California, Mexico. The albatross hatched in February, was banded in May, and fledged in
June (and it won’t
return to the breeding colony until it is 6-7 years old).
