Locating the Landing

A mōlī returns to land at a breeding colony after solitary months at sea. Mōlī, or Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis), spend many solitary months and thousands of nomadic miles at sea only returning to land to breed. With two meters of high aspect ratio wingspan, this wanderer almost effortlessly glides across the breeding grounds locating its mate and an adjacent clearing in which to land.
