The Birds of Midway Island

Midway Atoll is known for its huge colony of Laysan albatross, which is the largest in the world.
Although there is not a great variety of species found here (Compared to a rainforest, for example),
it is the nesting site for almost 2 million sea birds and a stopover for a variety of other migrants.

Also found here are the endangered Hawaiian Monk seals, green sea turtles and spinner dolphins.
