We have been spending most of our time working on the albatross sweeps (adult mortality monitoring) this week. So far, we've recorded about 2100 black-footed albatross bands. There are maybe another 500-1000 to go.... We should be done with the first black-foot sweep by the end of this week, and then we'll start on the Laysan albatross Sweep 1.
The plane flight schedule for Tuesday was delayed until Monday or Tuesday next week, due to pilot illness. :-( Bad news for those eager to go home (Trish Jackson), as well as those eager to come out (Sarah Youngren and Kristina Dickson). Soon!
