Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) chief scientist Dr. Sylvia Earle is visiting the USFWS_Pacific Region. Since 2009 Dr. Earle has been on a mission to create ocean "hope spots" around the globe. During the visit, Earle had a chance to meet Wisdom, the world's oldest Albatross on Midway Atoll. Head to Flickr to see the meeting between the two and other great shots from the trip! Safe Travels Dr. Earle!

Congrats to everyone who guessed correctly on yesterday's edition of Tracker Tuesday. The tracks are from a Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta)! Notice that one set of tracks are longer than the other. The shorter set (to the left) was the entrance for the sea turtle. This occurred during high tide, the longer tracks (to the right) occurred after successful nesting.

Thanks for playing, see you next week!

It's Tracker Tuesday, so let's see those wildlife skills. What do you think made these tracks? Be as specific as you can and we'll be back tomorrow to tell you the answer.

Good morning! What's the mashup solution? It's a snowy owl! Kevin, katie, Krista, Kristen, Richard, Judy, Outdoor Campus, Katie, Stephen, and Scott all guessed correctly! Their yellow eyes and black beak make this owl pretty recognizable - have you ever spotted one in your area?
