Awesome news welcome back 70 year old Wisdom!

Wisdom returns to Midway Atoll on time to celebrate her 70th birthday! Wisdom, a mōlī (Laysan albatross), is the world's oldest known, banded bird.

Wisdom's journey through seven decades continues to inspire thousands of people around the world with hope for the thriving success of not just her species, but countless other species thanks to the driven workers, volunteers, and agencies devoted to bringing balance to natural places around our planet.

More than three million seabirds, including approximately 70% of the world's mōlī, rely on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge and Battle of Midway National Memorial within Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument as a sanctuary for nesting and rearing their young.

Fascinating new insight into the extinct Dodo!

For centuries after it went extinct, the flightless bird was depicted unflatteringly. Now, new specimens and scientific tools bring the true dodo to life.
