While I often tease Corey about how many albatrosses we have down here in New Zealand, the fact is that the United States has three species of Albatross that breed within its boundaries, albeit one of them only very rarely, and visit the western shores of North America. The dances of the albatrosses are famous.

In particular the South Island destination of Kaikoura is world-renowned for the flocks of albatrosses and giant petrels floating right off the pelagic boat, and the ease of the trip makes it a must-visit for any visiting birder. The final large petrel species is another gadfly petrel, albeit a much larger one than the Cook’s Petrel.

ALWAYS assume there is some other bird species in there that you have not found yet. Here is a flock of endangered species. Shorebirds, of course, are one of the groups of birds most known and loved for their social tendencies. This is my flock of Laysan Albatross , on Midway Atoll. Buldir Island, AK.

One of the most unusual factors has been the high number of 3rd calendar year (or 2nd-winter) individuals, an age group that is normally the scarcest. Baer’s Pochard is an endangered species that has undergone a rapid acceleration in its decline over the last decade, with a total world population of less than 5000 individuals remaining.

My best bird of the year is based on the sighting rather than the species. Obviously my best bird of the year is going to come during this trip, what with several species of endemic pitta and broadbill possible, not to mention 8 species of hornbill and numerous babblers, storks, kingfishers, trogons and even the endemic Bornean Bristlehead.
