Thanks for posting the link to the summary of this fascinating study. For anyone that has the chance, the Kaena Point Albatross colony on Oahu is worth a vist. It’s somewhat out-of-the way, but worth the trouble if you’re on island at the right time of year. This colony didn’t even exist years ago – making it highly unusual in many respects. The colony had no chance of success due to the ferel animals that cover Oahu (dogs, cats, mongoose) until a barrier fence was erected with help from a New Zealand team. Albatross are far less common in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern and this colony is one of the easiest places to reach them. Plus, you get to drive around the island and see lovely bits that are otherwise easy to overlook. http://www.state.hi.us/dlnr/dofaw/kaena/ =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) http://birding-aus.org ===============================
Good to see the males doing their bit for genetic diversity. Carl Clifford =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) http://birding-aus.org ===============================
