a fine example to us all

From the audubonmagazine.org blog, written by reporter Michele Wilson:

The monster tsunami that swept over Japan almost two weeks ago and killed thousands of people also took the lives of what U.S. Fish and Wildlife officials now estimate to be 110,000 Laysan and black-footed albatross chicks and 2,000 adult birds at Hawaii�s Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. On a happier note, biologists there yesterday reported that the albatross called Wisdom, often considered the oldest wild bird on record and who had been missing, returned to her nest...

Wisdom is a bright note in the sad story. �She has�provided us valuable information about the longevity of these beautiful birds�in her case over 60 years�and reinforces the importance of breeding adults in the population,� Stieglitz said. �It�s also very humbling to know this 8-pound bird has been producing chicks longer than I have been alive.� According to Pete Leary, Wildlife Biologist at Midway, Wisdom was first tagged as a breeding adult in 1956. To date, she�s raised anywhere from 30 to 35 chicks.

60 years of popping out the chicklets, through earthquake, flood, or Navy training maneuvers! Now that's a whole lot of stubborn.
