I spent some time with Laysan Albatrosses (Phoeabastria immutabilis) at Kaena Point (Oahu, Hawaii) yesterday, and I was fortunate to see and to photograph this albatross chick again. It is about three months old now and looks pretty well. This baby bird is still fluffy, however it is already starting to get some feathers on its tail and wings. When it fledges completely, it will be one beautiful bird.

I caught this albatross chick near to its nest, which is situated under a small bush. It probably left the nest to sunbathe a little while waiting for its parents to come back from the ocean with food.
