Wisdom the Laysan albatross has laid another egg at Midway
Like other Laysan albatross, officials said, Wisdom returns to the same nesting site at Midway each year to reunite with her mate and potentially lay an egg. Wisdom is identified by her leg band, Z333. Laysan albatross, or moli in Hawaiian, do not typically lay eggs every year, and when they do, they lay only one.
