Oldest known seabird returns to Midway

HONOLULU -- Federal wildlife officials said the world's oldest known seabird returned to Midway Atoll. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said the Laysan Albatross named Wisdom was spotted at the remote island Nov. 19. An ornithologist put an identification band on Wisdom in 1956. She's estimated to be at least 64 years old. Laysan albatrosses typically mate for life, but Wisdom likely has had more than one mate. She has raised as many as 36 chicks.
