this chick gets around

/ white kiwi chick at mt. bruce via doc press release /

ever since i read the press release from the department of conservation last week, this little chick has been popping up everywhere! yahoo news, telegraph wildlife pictures - it's great to see this guy (or girl) in the news. it's especially good for mt. bruce's reputation, which took a bit of a beating last year when they lost several kiwi to predators in the sanctuary. i'm glad things are getting back on the right track for them, and i'm hoping i can go visit sometime soon to see the facility's recent renovations.
