An important activity for wildlife managers is banding albatross to study their movements and survival rates. This is typically a three person job. The fastest member of the team grabs the bill of the bird while the others manage the lanky wings and feet and prepare the bird to be banded.

All in a day's work. Albatross have very sharp bills and many are faster than the fastest member of the banding team.

Juvenile albatross are very curious and eager to explore and peck at new things within their territory. Some are very proficient at untying the shoelaces of photographers.

Bicycles are the main form of transportation around the island.
