Gooney Chick		Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge In June 2002, I moved to Midway Atoll which is 1,200 miles west of Hawaii. Midway Atoll is best known for "The Battle of Midway" which happened in 1942. No longer a Naval base, Midway is now a national wildlife refuge with over a million Laysan albatross, more commonly called "gooney birds." There are also spinner dolphins, monk seals, green sea turtles, and many different kinds of birds.
Even gooney birds love Elizabeti! A young Laysan albatross, or "gooney bird." Historic Midway House - Our home on Midway On Midway in September 2004: Bailey, Tim, Tanzie, and Stephanie
