Lisianslci on 18 July 1962. At this time 1697 nestling Laysan Albatross 
from Sand Island, Midway Atoll, were transported to Lisianski in an 
experiment designed to test whether site attachment could be altered in 
young birds. All the young were banded and marked with red plastic bands 
as well. No live birds have as yet been found back on Lisianski from this 
experimental group.
