World's oldest bird returns to wildlife refuge

Wisdom is back!

Wisdom -- the 64-year-old Laysan albatross -- returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge on November 19, 2015, after a year at sea. A few days later, she was observed with her mate. Wisdom departed soon after mating but refuge workers expect her back any day to lay her egg. Learn more about Wisdom, the oldest living, banded, wild bird.
