Jaymi Heimbuch of Treehugger is on a great assignment at the Midway Atoll.

She took these images of the very rare albino Albatross chicks.

She writes:

Midway Atoll has seen its share of albino albatross chicks. There are usually a couple born each year. This year there were three, and during a trip to the atoll, wildlife photographer Rebecca Jackrel and I spent some time hanging out with them. Two of the three chicks happen to live right across the road from one another. These rare albino birds are growing up just about 10 feet apart!
