Nature’s Remarkable Gift to Humanity A Laysan albatross, named Wisdom − the world’s oldest banded bird who has been soaring the Pacific Ocean for over 63 years − recently laid an egg on Pihemanu (Hawaiian place name for Midway Atoll meaning “loud din of birds”). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge Manager Dan Clark captured incredible moments of Wisdom busy preening and incubating her egg on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, part of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas) and here’s to a New Year full of hope and promise for our native wildlife.
