Royal Cam Albatross ~ Up Up & Away! Tiaki HOVERS For First Time! Hopping & Jumping All Over!

The winds were favorable today and Tiaki was taking advantage with her wing exercising. She was hopping and jumping all over and then she goes up in to her first hover at 2:24!! Wheeee! Tiaki lands and then a couple minutes later goes right back up into another hover at 4:30! What an exhilarating feeling that must be for the young chicks! SStrig did a hover today as well. They need a little more practice and control before fledging takes place in September. Thank you for watching!
