NaturallyScott
At least once a week, I’ll bring you the very best of America’s spectacular world of nature — from birds to mammals, to reptiles and amphibians. From soaring mountains to endless plains, from rugged coastlines to rivers and streams.
Each episode will feature an expert guest — a ranger, a researcher, a birder, or an adventurer — someone who has seen what we want to see and been where we want to go.

E17 Hob Osterlund – Laysan Albatross, Kauaʻi & Stories of Hope! 🌊🐦
In this episode of Naturally Scott, Scott Harris sits down with Hob Osterlund — writer, nurse, and founder of the Kauaʻi Albatross Network. Hob shares her lifelong connection with the Laysan albatross, the extraordinary birds who nest on Kauaʻi, and what these seabirds can teach us about resilience, community, and hope.
We explore:
- The beauty and mystery of the albatross and their lifelong bonds
- Hob’s personal journey from nursing to conservation
- The challenges of protecting seabirds on Hawaiʻi’s shores
- Why albatross inspire awe, joy, and healing in human lives
This is a moving conversation about nature, grief, and the power of connection.
