On the other hand, this is good news, because if a lot of money comes in, then the Brazilian government will be motivated to protect the area.” I have observed nearly two-thirds of all the bird species in the world, from the birds-of-paradise of New Guinea to the albatrosses of the southern oceans to the hummingbirds of the Andes Mountains.

These remote islands, some more than 1,000 miles from Honolulu, are home to huge globally-significant colonies of Laysan and Black-footed Albatross, among many others. These islands and their surrounding waters are protected as part of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument. This will focus on the requirements of NEPA.

But there is, apparently, and thanks to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, some good news on the rat front in that part of the world.). They’re lucky: unlike albatrosses and other seabirds, they are not ship followers and so can mostly avoid guy-lines and nets. For the next four years, the bird will not touch land.

That is, cuckoo nestlings shunted into Carrion Crow nests can secrete a godawful-smelling substance that keeps potential predators at bay and thereby protects their nestmates. But the birds can’t process the iron in the krill very well, so that gets excreted back into the ocean, where it nurtures more phytoplankton.

Soon afterwards a confident shout heralds the sighting of the first albatross of the day… This is usually a Shy Albatross as sweeps in slow and graceful flight over the wake before veering away on motionless wings giving all the opportunity to see the characteristic axillary ‘thumb-print’ on the mainly white underwing.

Yes, the same Kaikoura I keep banging on about that is a great place to see albatrosses. But mostly it was that I had swam with dolphins a bunch of times already, usually in crystal clear tropical waters, and money was a bit tight after seeing sperm whales and albatrosses, so I decided to enjoy the Hector’s Dolphins from the boat.

It is a fascinating book that teaches while it entertains, that offers research-informed arguments for bird protection and conservation in the guise of vibrant design. It would be a great gift for the novice birder, the experienced naturalist, or a fun read if you want to treat yourself.

In Hawaii I stood on a beach as albatrosses fledged and Tiger Sharks prowled for the less successful ones. There is no feeling in the world like knowing your helping something you care about, whether its sharks or puffins, protecting forests or reefs, advancing science or communities.

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. As we left the long harbour there were plenty of inshore seabirds such as gannets, shags, gulls and terns.

Sadly the great gannet colonies during the July to October period to protect the birds, but if you head up to Boundary Stream you’ll find a good mix of lowland and mountain forest where active management is keeping forest birds going. If you do decide to give your liver a rest then rest assured there are birds to be seen here.

Some of you have been counting on federal funding or habitat protection that now looks shaky; some of you have mates who never made it back from migration; some of you just can’t catch enough fish. They leave comments on your videos and give you cute names like Ozzie the Osprey and Wisdom the Albatross. But I thought you guys would!

eBird’s taxonomy was being updated, albeit not with what most desperately needs to be updated, the great albatrosses (c’mon, the Wandering complex has been split for over a decade people), but with a species I had seen in a few places and never suspected needed splitting. It was a split. An armchair split, no less.

They are commonest where they are intensively protected and managed, but these places are often remote and hard to visit. Seeing a wild kiwi is potentially the highlight of a star-strewn birding visit to New Zealand, but please respect the tenuous situation the five species are in and any measures in place for their protection.

The reserve protects a stand of mahogany swamp that attracts large numbers of nectar feeding birds when they flower in the winter. But there were a lot of albatrosses, and if writing here has taught me anything, it is that any day I see an albatross is a day that Corey hasn’t seen one.
