More Chicks

The albatross chicks are hatching all over the place now. I'd say only about 1 out of 10 nests are hatching so there's a quite a few more to go. I like them when they are tiny because they don't try to snap at you yet.

We found a dead duck the other day, so we're back to checking the seeps every day for ducks that are sick or have died from botulism. So far we haven't found any more. That means a trip to Eastern Island every day too.

We'll be short on people for the next couple of months, so we've got a person here to fill in for Greg, Sue, and I when each of us are off island. I'm glad that Larry will be here on detail, especially since we've got the seep checks to do now, so if you hear me mention Larry, that's who it is.

This adult is letting the chick get warmed up in the sun.

Here's a chick that's only about 2 days old.

A White-tailed tropicbird flies around checking out possible nesting trees every afternoon.

I showed you a photo last week of the glass float that Greg found in the water. A set of two green glass floats tied together washed up on Eastern Island yesterday.

I've showed you this view before, but I never get tired of it. This is from the pier on the north side of Eastern Island looking toward Sand Island. It's nice and calm inside the atoll. The next few photos are on the south side of Eastern Island looking to the reef outside the atoll. The waves are always a bit more dramatic when there's a good wind because you get a lot of spray off of the top. The waves were 10 to 20 ft today.

Chicks are Hatching!

It's another 3 day weekend. How do they expect us to get any work done when we keep getting days off? The albatross plots have been keeping us busy lately. We go around and read all of the leg bands to find out how many have come back from previous years. At least it gives me a good chance to get out of the office.

I've got another source for information on that airplane wreck that I told you about last week:
http://www.papahanaumokuakea.gov/maritime/brewsterf2a3buffalo_midway.html

There's a lot of info on other WWII airplanes as well as all of the shipwrecks in the monument for you history buffs and a lot of other general info too. You should be able to find interesting things on there no matter what kind of buff you are.

While we were checking the albatross last week, we found this egg starting to hatch.

The Black-footed albatross chicks are now hatching all over. This chick is yawning. They aren't too active at this stage and just being out of the egg seems to wear them out.

Greg found a large glass ball floating in the lagoon last week. It's about 16" in diameter. It has a tiny hole in it, so it's got water and sand in it, kind of like a terrarium.

This is one of the algae covered seeps at radar hill. I put this photo up more for you to see how the Bonin petrels have dug up the side of the hill.

We've only seen one bird of prey here so far this winter. A White tern is harassing the juvenile Peregrine falcon.

This Pacific Golden Plover caught a centipede in front of the office. I watched it shake it around and slam it on the ground for a few minutes, but it looked like it was going to be a while before the bird ate it. I'm sure it didn't want to try to eat it if it could still bite.

There was a nice sunrise last week. This is a picture of the reflection of the sunrise in the window of the office.
