—”He got his limit on the albatrosses, I think.”

When is opening day?

“In the late nineteenth century, hunters exploited Laysan albatross breeding colonies from Japan eastward across the Pacific. The birds’ dense down became pillow stuffing and wing plumes adorned women’s hats. Albatross eggs provided albumen for a photographic printing process. In 1909, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt protected the seabirds by creating a preserve of the western Hawaiian Islands.”
