After 5 years of dedication and hard work, the Kauai Albatross Network (KAN) and the landowner have decided to take the upcoming year off from 24/7 streaming on Kauai’s North Shore.
When the Cornell Lab began working with KAN back in 2012 to (eventually) identify locations and landowners that would work to bring the world of Laysan Albatrosses to the world in 2014, we never could have imagined the reaction from the online community or the amount of effort it would take to have this kind of impact.
Together, in the last 5 years, we have shared the lives of Laysan Albatrosses on the Garden Isle for 30 months (out of the last 72!). Viewers from over 190 countries have tuned in to the livestream 60 million times for a combined 450 million minutes. Our Albatross cam volunteers have posted over 20 thousand tweets and shared over 9000 images from the @AlbatrossCam Twitter account, identified 198 walkers, and interacted with thousands of cam watchers through social media.
From all of us at the Cornell Lab's Bird Cams project, we wanted to say “Thank You” to our partners at KAN, the cam site landowners, all of our viewers and volunteers, and anyone who has watched and learned along with us over these past 5 years. Enjoy this highlight video of some of our all-time favorite moments from the Kauai Laysan Albatross cam, and please share your own favorite memories in the comments below. Mahalo!

Reunited and feeeeeeeeeeeeeels so good!
On Monday, December 9th, Wisdom the albatross was spotted with her long term mate and partner Akeakamai. Wisdom is the world's oldest known wild bird. She is at lest 69 years old and has probably hatched over 35 chicks in her lifetime. Because it is so late in the nesting cycle, the pair may take a year off from raising a chick to rest.

Kristine Duguid Genagon The last update I read said...
WISDOM UPDATE: Wisdom, the oldest known banded albatross that is at least 69 years young, and her mate Akeakamai were spotted together on December 9 but have not been seen again. The Good News: It is normal for couples to skip a nesting year and it gives them a much needed rest. Each week, our fervent FWS volunteers keep checking their nesting area for any sightings.
