Barb: Aloha kakahiaka! It was so good to meet you face-to-face yesterday morning at Sunrise (see the S10 on our FOAM's Midway map page!)I had just taken my new ducklings out for a swim and food forage...and there you were, together with the other 2 volunteers, Gary and Adam. So nice to meet all of you. I'll look forward to your occasional visits, as you gather data about our health.
I know you'll be pono (on good behavior) when you come to visit us: please walk up to our pond slowly and quietly, crouching low; you don't want to scare us, causing us to go into the water before we want to, or hide in the plants growing at the pond's edge.
I hope you enjoy this picture of me and 4 of my 7 ducklings from this year. Gary has a couple of nice close-ups of my kids on his blog entry for today. Again: welcome to Midway Atoll!

Barb's on island?! How come I haven't seen her? Barb: when are you coming to see me? I can hardly wait!!
Hi Auntie! Sorry: I've been sooooo busy trying to learn my way around. Adam (another new volunteer) and I have been trying to learn lots about our duties here on Midway; Gary, a volunteer who's been here for about 3 months, is doing a great job of showing us around. Gary said we'll start our work with you Laysan Albatross on Monday; so I hope to see you soon.
Since it's the weekend, I'm unpacking and settling in. This afternoon we may go on a boat to a snorkeling site!! I hope I get to see Uncle Ulua.
