Bird List

Just a short post today. I am supposed to watch a Betty Davis movie, Human Bondage, in 15 min.

It is time that I started a list of all the birds I've seen, before I start forgetting. I promis in the future I will take the time to talk about each of these individually, but for now it is just a list.

As of today I have seen:

Laysan Albatross
Black-footed Albatross
Hybrid Laysan/Black-footed Albatross
Short-tailed Albatross
Black Noddy
Brown Noddy
Bristle-thighed Curlew
Common Canary
Common Myna
Pacific Golden Plover
Red-tailed Trophic Bird
Ruddy Turnstone
White Tern
Wedge-tailed Shearwater (juvenile only)
Laysan Duck
Wondering Tattler
Cattle Egrets

Monk Seals
Green Sea Turtles

I know the last two aren't birds (hence, the space). But pretty cool, aye?


Because I couldn't leave you without a picture, this is the Laysan Albatros: the quintessential "Gooney Bird" and the most common species on the island.
