Rare albatross pair raise five chicks after 10 seasons together near Hawaii

 In an inspiring twist, George and Geraldine celebrate their 10th consecutive breeding season at Midway Atoll. Over the years, they have raised no fewer than five chicks, with some of their young returning recently. This is a promising sign for a breeding population that is considered Vulnerable. Continued conservation efforts hold the key to potentially establishing a new haven for short-tailed albatrosses on the island. In an inspiring twist, George and Geraldine celebrate their 10th consecutive breeding season at Midway Atoll.
