How to Add “Albatross Counter” to Your Resume

Presented by Dan Cullinane

All three species of albatross that breed in the Northern Hemisphere have made a comeback on Midway Atoll. Midway Atoll, famous for the Battle of Midway that was the turning point of World War II in the Pacific, is now a Fish and Wildlife Refuge. Come learn how the annual albatross count on Midway Atoll is conducted, and how a small group of volunteers can count two million albatross in a mere three weeks time! See what other bird life can be experienced there and how you can become a volunteer counter on the largest albatross colony in the world.

Dan Cullinane is a retired high school science teacher and currently one of the Albatross Count Leaders on Midway Atoll. He is a longtime volunteer for Sea and Sage Audubon working as a Tree Swallow Monitor besides performing all the maintenance on the Tree Swallow boxes at San Joaquin Marsh. He also helps with the quarterly Western Snowy Plover Census along the coast.
