It was my understanding that the Laysan Albatross (aka Gooney Bird) abandoned Midway during the war, and only returned years later. Having said that, I can't find anything online to verify it.
I was at Midway briefly in 1970, and they are indeed the most beautiful of all birds in flight, but the silliest and clumsiest on the ground.
