[Tweeters] Yayyy! Wisdom is back on Midway Atoll

[Ronda Stark via Tweeters]

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to share their experiences!

On the website, I see they are planning to conduct the usual census and
they are also raising funds to purchase drones to conduct an aerial census
and compare results. Can anyone comment on that approach?

Bob, were you part of a scientific study? I thought visitation to the area
was greatly restricted.
