This is a Laysan albatross who hatched in a nest on my lawn in Kaua'i. He fledged and stayed at sea for 6 years. I filmed him on his first day back on land, on a golf course. He had to relearn how to walk and how to speak albatross, and started by trying to copy nearby birds. The "eh,eh,eh" descending notes are what his parents would have called to him when they returned with food, that is the vocalization he would have remembered from when he was a chick. You will see his first clumsy attempts at displaying with other albatrosses. You can see clips from this long film and read more about him at albatrossdiary.com. Enjoy his first day back!
