There are a lot of chicks hatching out there and more everyday. The Black-foots are in full swing right now and the Laysans are sure to follow. We did see the first Laysan chick on Sunday so it won't be long. Here's a picture of a Black-footed chick and the proud parent.
Do they usually have just one chick?
ReplyDeleteYep, they just lay one egg and if they lose their egg or something goes wrong, they will not lay another one. Apparently that is unusual amoung bird. There are a lot of unusual things about albatross.
ReplyDeletewow. Thanks
