It’s albatross breeding season on Midway Atoll, a cluster of remote islands in the Pacific Ocean—and that means scores and scores and scores of chicks who barely bat an eye at a cycling human.

Enjoy these highlights from the 2020-21 cam season at the Taiaroa Head Nature Reserve on New Zealand's South Island. Thanks to our partners at the New Zealand Department of Conservation for helping us share the lives of these giant ocean wanderers with the world. | Bird Cams
