Just got a report with images from one of the Weather Permitting captains (Jamie L.) of a LAYSAN ALBATROSS in Resurrection Bay this afternoon. It was a couple miles north of Pilot Rock - west of Rugged Island - and just sitting on the water. Very unusual to have an albatross in the bay or even so close to the coast around here, especially during relatively calm weather. The captain was speculating that it might be ill.
