Holy Mōlī -- First Laysan albatross chick of the year!
First mōlī chick of the year!!!! We'll call him/her Ka Hiapo, First Born. Ka Hiapo is in Nest #48 of our chick growth study looking at the effects of plastic marine debris ingestion on chick growth, so we'll be able to follow this chick through the season with you.
