Wisdom, the world’s oldest banded bird in the wild (she is at least 71 years old), is a grandma!

This past Valentine’s Day, USFWS volunteers spotted Wisdom's chick N333 with her grand chick near her nest at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. In addition to Laysan albatross like Wisdom, Midway Atoll (Kuaihelani) is a sanctuary for millions of other seabirds, shorebirds, and numerous marine species.
