The eggs that the volunteers and students saved when the tree blew down, hatched yesterday. I'm sure the new parents will treat the new chicks like their own.

The duck's head gets whiter as it gets older, so this one's been around a few years.
This seal and turtle are resting on the beach next to the cargo pier. This seal was born last year. The 5k course goes along that seawall in the background.
That little white fluffy thing under the bird is the chick. It was sleeping so I didn't bother it. We use those little stakes to mark each nest in our plots, so when I say that I go check the bird plots, I check every nest to see which adult is there as well as the status of the egg or the chick.
This is one of the ducks that is visiting us this winter. It's a Shoveler just taking off from the ball field seep. There was also a Pintail there, but it flew before I could get a good picture.
This is looking toward the end of the fuel pier.
This albatross is checking out the turtle in the water. It was only about 3 feet above the turtle.
Here’s another example of why we can’t have planes landing during the day. These are all albatrosses which have at least 6 ft wingspans.
One of the young short-tailed albatross is being harassed by a nearby black-foot so it's getting kind of mad. This isn't the bird that went over to Eastern island.
This is the area we've been spraying the last couple of days.
This albatross found a spot in the Doctor's cemetary for a nest.
This white tern looked like it was almost dead because it was so tired from hanging on to the branch in the strong wind. Greg and I put some bark in front of it as a windbreak so I hope it will get some rest now.
This Laysan albatross is liking the windy day as it flies over Rusty Bucket.
This was Midway this afternoon.
