66 Year old Albatross "expecting"

[Taffycat]

I think this is a pretty amazing story.

First banded in 1956, the world's oldest known seabird has returned once again to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge - and she is currently incubating an egg, officials said Saturday.

The Laysan Albatross known as Wisdom, a bird thought to be at least 66-years-old, is incubating an egg once again, putting her on track to become the oldest breeding wild bird in the world.

Charlie Pelizza, the US Fish and Wildlife Service project leader at the refuge in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean, said in a statement that Wisdom has been returning there for six decades.
