Laysan Albatross http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/4 ... Albatross/ from fb Bird Cams Courtship Dancing, Laysan Albatross Cam, 2 Feb, 2016 A couple of albatross "visitors" put on quite a show yesterday. Laysan Albatrosses that are not breeding for the season often stop by to check out nesting sites and practice courtship dancing. Their elaborate courtship dance is a strong bonding ritual, leading to a lifelong pair-bond, that must be learned, practiced and perfected. |

Laysan Albatross, Kaua’i, Hawaii This is a nest at the same place as it was last year, but there’s only one Albatross pair raising a chick. The pair consists of two females. This situation is caused by shortage of males in the colony. The male to female ratio among the Kaua’i Albatrosses is about 40 – 60. Therefore sometimes two females arrange a nest. In this species two adult birds are absolutely necessary to incubate an egg and take care of the chick. They lay one egg each, but these eggs are usually not viable because even if the females mate once or twice with any otherwise attached male, this may not be sufficient. More information about Albatross female-female partnerships can be found in the article http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2610150/ Fortunately, the site attendants had a source of Albatross eggs. On the Midway atoll, where the military has its base, the nesting of these birds was discouraged: their eggs were taken away. After 2 weeks of incubation the eggs can be subject to candling to detect their viability and then replaced with the good ones if necessary. This happened in the case of the nest on Kaua’i. The two females are named Philialoha (K097) and Mahealani (KP672). The chick named Kalama hatched on January 26. So far his development progresses normally. More information about the nest and the species can be found on the website of Cornell Lab of Ornithology. http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/4 ... Albatross/ Some pictures: January 31. Feeding The site is often visited by other birds.

Cahow or Bermuda Petrel, Nonesuch Bermuda These birds were believed to be extinct, but in 1951 very small number of breeding pairs was found. Since then the restoration effort proved rather successful. Despite some setbacks, currently the number of breeding pairs is estimated to be 120. They are very slow breeders, but they benefit from extraordinary care and protection. Environmental activists periodically examine the pair shown on camera. They nest in burrows; therefore we can observe only black and white view. They laid one egg (normal situation) on January 11, 2017. Incubation lasts 50 – 55 days. Hatching is expected the first week of March. More information about the nest and the species can be found on the website of Cornell Lab of Ornithology http://cams.allaboutbirds.org/channel/5 ... da_Cahows/ January 27, 2017 Periodic examination, February 8, 2017. The male Bermuda Petrel organizes the nest after health check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klgkCTP6qdU Video by Cornell Lab Bird Cams Project |

Here's a seabird you might enjoy watching: Atlantic Puffins. Their sweet faces make me want to watch the am, which I will continue to do. May 22, 2017: Two Puffins take turns incubating their egg. Their burrow is located in Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge in the Gulf of Maine. $800,000 from the National Audubon Society supports Seabird Restoration Program activities in Maine National Audubon Society http://explore.org/live-cams/player/puffin-burrow-cam |

May 26, 2017: Taking turns to incubate their precious eggs, one of the Puffins returns to the burrow. Puffins are monogamous, and the female lays only one egg. The egg is large compared to her body size. The Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica), also known as the common puffin Egg laid: May 22, 2017 Incubation time: 39 – 45 days More information on Atlantic Puffins here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_puffin National Audubon Society http://explore.org/live-cams/player/puffin-burrow-cam |

June 10, 2017: In the background you can hear a strange noise. No, it’s not a chainsaw trimming trees. Silent above ground, in breeding burrows the Atlantic puffin’s call is a deep “arrr-uh.” You can also hear the calls of other birds.

July 1, 2017: For several days this young crow has been visiting the bird feeder in my front yard. The platforms are filled with slices of apple, cherries, pumpkin seeds, bird seed, and suet. After being fed many times by adults, he finally figures it out. |

I saw the explore.org "daily dose of love" about the puffin chick. Adorable! We have a baby crow at bird rehab and he squawks just like your little visitor. |

edited to add the youtube link Gigi, I was very surprised at the sound they make. Reminded me of a chainsaw. They are silent when out of their burrows. July 3, 2017: Mom takes a break and we get a good luck at her baby.
