Baby Albatross Next to the Deep Blue Sea

Leysan Albatross chick nesting near the beach in Kauai. 

The chicks barely move at all, with eggs laid on very shallow scrapes. The parents leave them alone for long periods of time.

Laysan Albatross start laying eggs at age 5, and a Laysan Albatross banded by Chandler Robbins of Laurel, Maryland on the Pacific atoll of Midway is still laying eggs and making babies at age 75 — the oldest laying bird in the world.
