Black-footed Albatrosses
The US government plans to strafe Midway Island with poison aimed at eradicating mice that are rampaging through one of the world's most important sites for seabirds. Each year, albatrosses return to the same nesting spot to meet their mates where they spend time getting re-acquainted through billing and dancing rituals, after spending a year apart, at sea. The area is home to three million seabirds, including the largest colony of albatrosses in the world.
