Wisdom at 71


WISDOM, the world’s oldest known wild bird, age 71, has returned to Midway Atoll in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean in order to breed. The then 5-year old+ “Wisdom,” a Laysan Albatross, was first banded by Maryland’s own Chandler Robbins in 1956.  Another Wisdom chick might be in the offing in February.
