Albatross | Largest Seabird, Migration & Conservation | Britannica

Edge what remains their last hope, be enshrined, be the breeding atolls summoned to mind. Albatross are one of the bird's largest. These goliath's wingspans are the longest, which makes them less of a landlubber when they take more to the sea and less to land other than breeding and nesting. They may fly for more than a year well before they take to land, which has been limited to the northern Hawaiian islands, that's due to its isolation. Their numbers put them on the endangered list. The output rests on less interference, to; control by observation like fish in a bowl.

your poem was delightful and informative, William. I appreciation how you described the albatross. I wasn't aware it's limited to the northern Hawaiian Islands. I couldn't help but remember the albatross in The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner and the albatross that hangs upon the neck. Lovely poem. Have a splendid Christmas day, Sara

Yes, intro info is the best way to break the ice, Sara. Yes, they're endemic to the island's less inhabitable places. Ahh, yes, I found him to be a bit of a romanticist. Thank you for your in-depth share, and Cheers to 2024, my friend. Aloha, William
