HONOLULU–The world’s oldest known seabird has a new chick.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said yesterday that Wisdom’s offspring hatched at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week.
The Laysan albatross is at least 66 years old and is the world’s oldest breeding bird in the wild.
Fish and Wildlife Service project leader Bob Peyton said Wisdom has returned to Midway for more than six decades.
He added she’s raised at least 30 chicks.
Midway Atoll is home to the world’s largest colony of albatross.
