Yup! That's what it is. Home to Gooneyville, and the Midway national wildlife preserve, loved by Gooney birds everywhere.
As the WWII navy soldiers witnessed, the native albatross species are everywhere.
Gooney Birds!

(22,756 posts)Hawaii and Alaska (although, there vicariously through my son) I have had the great (and very humbling) pleasure to stand in all of these places President Obama and family are photographed at.... all U.S. citizens should be as fortunate... all treasures that I value and appreciate beyond measure...
