The first black-foot albatross chicks are starting to hatch! We are almost done with our third albatross sweep of the island. The laysan albatrosses should begin hatching soon as well. The weather has been windy with a little sun here and there, no rain in a while. We went snorkeling on MLK day on the south west side of the island. The reef structures were beautiful and there were several patches of healthy coral.
