Soaring Albatross Above the Sea Waves

An albatross glides in the center of the scene with fully spread wings, moving straight toward the viewer over ocean waves. The wings of the bird contain small circular mosaic areas with visible numbers ranging from zero to nine.

Gliding Across Oceans Without Flapping

Albatrosses can travel thousands of miles across open oceans by dynamic soaring, locking their wings into place to ride wind gradients right above ocean waves. They spend most of their lives in flight, landing on water only to feed and coming to solid land primarily for nesting. These seabirds have the largest wingspans of any living bird species, allowing them to glide effortlessly for hours.

Real Colors of Ocean Albatrosses

  • Albatross feathers: predominantly white body with dark brown or black upper wing surfaces
  • Beak: bright yellow, pinkish, or orange with a hooked tip
  • Ocean water: deep navy blue, turquoise, and white foam along wave crests
  • Bird feet: pale pinkish-gray or bluish-white webbed feet
