Tender Care
Mōlī, or laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis), return from the sea to nest in the northern winter season. Committed parents, the adults take turns tending the downy hatchling. This simple nest is a scraping in the coastal sand dunes in the shade of a naio bush. Older chicks will be left on their own since upping the feeding effort of the parents is necessary with the chick’s increasing size.
