The Black-footed Albatross (Diomedia nigripes) is one of two species of Albatross that nests annually in the Hawaiian Islands, and one of three that occur regularly in the North Pacific (the other species being Laysan and Short-tailed Albatrosses). Although breeding birds are limited to the Northwest Chain and Lehua Rock, individuals can frequently be seen from the Main Island of Kaua'i and occasionally O'ahu and Hawai'i.
