Greg, Good luck with the new blog - you have begun with some neat
articles.

I found the map showing the movement of that young Short-tailed
Albatross along the US coastline (link below) particularly
interesting. The bird seems to have stayed on the shelf pretty much
all the time consistent with the use of inshore habitats by this
species. Maybe I missed it, but was the bird traveling north or south?
