March 5th, 2021: No spring chicken but a spring chick



Wisdom the Albatross, the world's oldest known wild bird at at least 70, hatched a chick in February.  She was first identified in 1956 and -although albatrosses mate for life- she has been through several partners as they usually only live for 12-40 years.
