An #albatross named #Wisdom, the #oldest known #wild #bird at 70 years old, at least, has once again returned to the Midway Atoll National #Wildlife Refuge in the Pacific. A volunteer spotted the septuagenarian at the refuge on Friday, #December 1, #2023. And she looks good for her age!

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) first tagged Wisdom at Midway, in the 1950s. The tag bears the designation Z333. Experts estimate that she was hatched at least as early at 1951, if not earlier. That would put her at a minimum of 72 years old.

"In discovering these shortcuts or strategies of image compression, artists act as research neuroscientists or as visual hackers, and we can learn a great deal from tracing their discoveries. The goal is not to expose the “slipups” of the masters but to understand the human brain. Art in this sense is a type of found science — science we can do simply by looking."
