Black-footed Albatross, with band, eyes closed

Monterey Bay

The band (left-leg) reads "W780". The albatross had its eyes closed like this in all the photos in a sequence taken as it flew close by our boat, apparently attracted by the accompanying crowd of gulls.

It's also missing the tip of its bill. Perhaps the eye was injured in the same incident. Glen
