Finding Wisdom on Midway Atoll
In 2018 JD participated in the annual nesting albatross census on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is located within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, approximately 1,350 miles northwest of Honolulu. JD brings home all the latest information, and amazing visuals, about his work on the census to share with our community.

Midway Atoll is the site of the "world's largest albatross nesting colony as well as numerous other globally important species such as the federally endangered Hawaiian monk seal and Laysan duck. The work conducted by the nesting albatross census team, or "Bird Counters" on Midway Atoll provides vital information found few places on earth to researchers, managers, conservation groups and the global community interested in preserving and protecting oceanic seabirds and their nesting habitats.
