Black-footed Albatross
A voice rang out from the stern of the boat, “Black-footed Albatross, nine o’clock”. Dreams from the night before were coming true as an Albatross, the hermit of the sea, sailed past me and onto my life list…Number 600. A journey that began five years ago had reached a major milestone. The day before I reached 600, my dad and I arrived at our Monterey hotel anxiously awaiting our pelagic trip. I was four species short of my milestone, and I wanted to reach it in California.

Nesting Brown Noddies
The sun rose on a beautiful spring day in southern Florida. After a week and a half of birding with my dad across the state, our trip was coming to a close. During this time we had seen some amazing species: Mangrove Cuckoo, Snail Kite, Swallow-tailed Kite, Snowy Plover, Black-whiskered Vireo, Short-tailed Hawk, and so much more. However, we had saved the best for last.
