The first two chapters make clear that although environmental concerns were a factor, his major reason for doing a big year was personal–his work as a postdoc in research neurobiology was at a crisis point, he needed to change research direction or…do something else.

In this study, the males who slept in weren’t slackers—the researchers manipulated their circadian rhythms with melatonin implants. But just a 10-minute tap on the snooze button and they not only missed out on all that hot mating action, they were often cuckolded and left raising the offspring of the early risers.

But, he continued, some – but not all – of the researchers drove him nuts. Their attitude was “the rules don’t apply to me, I’m a researcher.” Can a dead bird educate the researcher on its song? How it raised its chicks? Researchers can and do provide valuable information.

Laysan albatrosses are ocean-dwelling seabirds who have 6-foot wingspans, weigh 7-8 pounds, occasionally sleep while flying, and rarely land except to raise their chicks. The oldest Laysan albatross was last seen raising a chick on Midway Atoll in 2016, at age 66. They are docile and devoted parents who will not leave their nests.
