The albatross is an incredible animal.

At seventy-four I would not consider re-marrying or having another cub.

If DH goes before me I plan to be old, decrepit and spend the rest of my days in a cottage with a goldfish for company.

You can choose. The albatross follows instinct.

The 82 year old bird in the White House laid multiple eggs over the past 4 years.

At 74, a woman is unlikely able to conceive. Sarah (wife of Abraham) and Elizabeth being famous exceptions.

Albatrosses seem to have a different biological clock.

If her body is full of micro plastic, it doesn’t seem to have hurt her.

I always thought that Midway was part of Hawaii. But it turns out that it is not.

A bird that's also a cougar, that's rare. Thanks Red Badger.

It’s 1,100 miles from Honolulu to Midway.
