It’s difficult in a photograph to communicate the size of an albatross. So you’ll just have to take my word for it. These guys are big, but even so, the black-browed albatross is only considered a medium sized albatross. Their wing span only goes to eight feet unlike some of their cousins who can spread those wings up to eleven feet. These two, however, are giving a nice look at a typical mating display. Apparently threatening to eat one’s face is considered a turn on to the albatross. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 22mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/500th of a second

Norman says it best in the film “On Golden Pond”: “Wanna dance or would you rather just suck face”! Stellar timing, Sean – this is a keeper!
Hilarious, Sean. Perfect timing!
It looks like the one on the right has two heads.
Look like they are up to something
