She has been a tremendous help to me in caring for this bird.

He is alert, strong and feisty.

We're going to try it. So far it's gone well, but we should know (if he will survive) in several weeks.

If it can't fly, it can't live.

It is a beautiful area for albatross, on a protected ridge overlooking the ocean with trade winds needed for their first flight in a few months.

The rearing site is within a portion of the refuge previously closed to public entry to protect and minimize disturbance to wildlife.
