As we were nearing San Diego last week, I
discovered that a boat trip to observe sea birds was scheduled to go
out from there this weekend so I signed up. One of the birds that we
found, thirty miles out in the ocean was this cool bird of the week.
This bird has one of the longest wing spans in the bird world at
about six and a half feet. As you can see by the video, they know
how to use those wings. They nest on islands in the South Pacific and
spend most of their non-breeding time flying thousands of miles all
over the Pacific Ocean. They are rarely seen from land and this is
the most common one seen in the northern hemisphere. Enjoy this
marvelous bird and happy birding.
