This picture was taken about 5 minutes after the Black-footed Albatross picture. I found a spot in front of the barracks where they flew past consistently and waited for the birds. They are expert at soaring and cover thousands of miles on feeding trips and return to regurgitate food for their young. The Black-footed Albatross has similar habits. This bird also flew within a couple feet of me. All this movement is soaring or gliding with almost no wing flapping.

What a great idea it was to share your trip with us on the blog. This is a nice way to travel! I'm also going to stop complaining about the red-shouldered hawk and pheasant squawking in the backyard in the morning after reading the post on the bird sounds. Is there anyway to record it for a couple of minutes and post it for us to hear?
Shortly after you left the weather has switched to hot and dry. It was over 90 yesterday. Kevin
