Laysan Albatross Population estimate ——-— 2 (young) 
No adult albatrosses were seen on or offshore Lisianski. Two starving 
young at the northeast corner of the lagoon were the only birds remaining 
from the previous nesting season. During the day these young would remain 
well above the top of the beach crest where they crouched in the shade of • 
clumps -of Rragrostis. In the early morning they walked down to the margin 
of the beach and stood there looking out to sea.
