- FRIENDS OF THE NORTH SHORE LIBRARY AT PRINCEVILLE'S SPEAKER PROGRAM PROUDLY
PRESENTS: The Laysan Albatross by Hob
Osterlund - Wednesday, February 8, 2012 6-7:30PM. Everything about a
Laysan albatross is superlative: deep-eyed, long-lived,
far-traveled. Native to the Hawaiian Islands, the albatross stopped
nesting in the main islands once they became inhabited by humans. A
pair returned to Kauai in the late 1970s, and their numbers have gradually
grown since. Now their primary nesting colonies on Midway Islands are
threatened with sea level rise. Kauai has three key elements: elevated
bluffs, an absence of mongoose, and people who care. Because of these,
Kauai may prove to be their Noah's Ark. Please join us for this annual
presentation by amateur ornithologist and award-winning
journalist/photographer, Hob Osterlund. 4343 Emmalani Drive,

began more than 160 years ago, when Hawaii's great monarch, King

time, we have continued the journey in pursuit of excellence and equity in
education. Our standards set the course, while students, families, and
