Today the winds were above 20 knots so we were not permitted to enter the bird colony this morning. When it is windy the birds flush (try to fly away) easily, and they could get caught in bushes and get injured. Later in the afternoon after the wind died down we finished the second Laysan Albatross sweep.

    Haha yay it's Kristina AND Jimmy now! The great frigate juvi is such a little hunchback of Notre Dame.
