Thanks to all of our supporters who’ve helped us reach the halfway point of reaching our goal to raise $60,000 by June 14! We’re going strong. If you haven’t already, please consider giving a gift to help keep the cams streaming. Any amount helps! https://t.co/qib3x70jDP
She's back! Wisdom, a mōlī (Laysan albatross) and the world's oldest known, banded bird in the wild has returned to Midway Atoll. At least 69 years old, she and her mate are currently incubating an egg! Learn more: https://t.co/hFBxT7S4Ym

We’ve partnered with @docgovtnz this year to stream the lives of the #RoyalCam at Taiaroa Head, New Zealand, featuring a pair of Northern Royal Albatross. Check it out at https://t.co/0Q2MiwXYMB and follow us at @RoyAlbatrossCam Thanks for watching!
@lobrien@hereschristine After five years of incredible experiences streaming albatross from Kauai, both KAN & the Cornell Lab made the decision to take a break and start exploring how other sites and other seabird species can help people connect with the birds and the Pacific.
@DianaDanna007 There are no current plans to have an active camera on Hawaii this winter, but some progress on other sites (but much left to figure out, making future years more likely)
Here’s another clip of KK interacting with who other walkers! She is the bird in the middle. Video courtesy of KAN volunteer Jeanine Meyers.

You can see that Kaloakuloa’s geolocator (attached to the leg back) is intact, so with any luck researchers should be able to get an idea about where KK has been since we last saw her!
Exciting news from Kauai! Kaloakulua, the chick from season 1, has returned to her natal breeding site. Watch KK take a stroll across the site in this video from KAN volunteer Jeanine Meyers! https://t.co/yeYd6vNlaU

@AlbatrossCam The story of Pilialoha (Rest In Peace, our Beloved) & Mahealani from Aunties w/ an infertile egg to the gift KAN gave them & us-a fertile egg of their own that became Kalama will forever have a special place in my heart. I pray I will hear of Kalama’s return one day
@AnnieTrossFan@KauaiAlbatross@kimsrogers Hi @AnnieTrossFan — I believe all of the posting to FB by KAN volunteers is “public”, which means that you don’t have to be a FB member to view it (similar to @BirdCams — you can view our posts at https://t.co/DtDFAZOfGV without logging in)
You can also consider following KAN members on Twitter! Hob Osterlund (@KauaiAlbatross) and Kim Steutermann Rogers (@kimsrogers) will be posting updates about the albatross throughout the 2019 season.
For continued updates throughout the season, be sure to look up Kauai Albatross Network founder, Hob Osterlund, and KAN members Kim Steutermann Rogers, Louise Barnfield, Nicki Pignoli, and Jeanine Meyers on Facebook.
Mahalo to everyone in the Tross cam community that has shared their feelings and memories! The @AlbatrossCam Twitter account will begin to wind down in next few days and will be inactive when the cam is offline. We will continue to answer Qs/share memories throughout the week.
