Black-browed Albatross

The black-browed albatross is very distinctly marked with its black eyebrow, but also the black plumage on both sides of its wings. It is one of the smaller albatross species, with a wingspan of just over 2m.

 

When searching for food, this species follows a regular flight pattern, somewhat resembling a figure 8. The effortless way it harnesses the wind to glide is amazing to watch. Nary a wingbeat.
