The weather this week has remained extremely windy and rainy. We have had several inches of rain and the runway looks like a small lake. The birds seem to be happy that the weather is cooler and the wind is up making flying easier. The albatross enjoy opening their bills to catch the water droplets as they fall. We were able to do one day of Red-Tailed Tropic Bird mark recaptures, but the rain has kept us from doing them the rest of the week. 

On super bowl Sunday we attempted to watch the game through a webcam and we made king cake to celebrate the  Mardi Gras season.
