question: Wisdom was a female of the species of seabird that ranges across what area?
answer: North Pacific
context: Title: White-tailed nuthatch
  Passage: The white-tailed nuthatch ("Sitta himalayensis") is a species of bird in the Sittidae family.  It ranges across the northern and northeastern parts of the Indian Subcontinent, existing mainly in the low-to-middle Himalayas, as well as associated mountain ranges.  It is found in Bhutan, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet and Thailand.
  Title: Pancake Range
  Passage: The Pancake Range is located in east-central Nevada in the United States.  The range extends as an irregular sinuous line for approximately 90 mi with a roughly north-south trend (N 10 E) in Nye and White Pine counties.  The range reaches an elevation of 9240 ft at Portuguese Mountain.  Neighboring ranges include the White Pine, Grant and Quinn Canyon ranges across Railroad Valley on the east-southeast; and Park and Hot Creek ranges across Big Sandy Springs and Hot Creek valleys on the west-northwest.  The south end of Newark Valley lies at the extreme north end of the range.  The Lunar Crater Volcanic Field lies at the southwestern end of the chain with the Reveille Range to the south.
  Title: Kashmir nuthatch
  Passage: The Kashmir nuthatch ("Sitta cashmirensis") is a species of bird in the Sittidae family.  It is found in the northernmost regions of the Indian subcontinent, primarily in the mid-altitudes of the Himalayas.  The species ranges across Afghanistan, India, Nepal and Pakistan.  The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in eastern Afghanistan and north-western India, and fairly common in Nepal (Harrap and Quinn 1996).
  Title: Wedge-tailed shearwater
  Passage: The wedge-tailed shearwater ("Ardenna pacifica") is a medium-large shearwater in the seabird family Procellariidae.  It is one of the shearwater species that is sometimes referred to as a muttonbird, like the sooty shearwater of New Zealand and the short-tailed shearwater of Australia.  It ranges across from throughout the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean roughly between latitudes 35°N and 35°S.  It breeds on islands off of Japan, on the Islas Revillagigedo, the Hawaiian Islands, the Seychelles the Northern Mariana Islands and off Eastern and Western Australia.
  Title: Zino's petrel
  Passage: The Zino's petrel or freira ("Pterodroma madeira") is a small seabird in the gadfly petrel genus which is endemic to the island of Madeira.  This long-winged petrel has a grey back and wings, with a dark "W" marking across the wings, and a grey upper tail.  The undersides of the wings are blackish apart from a triangle of white at the front edge near the body, and the belly is white with grey flanks.  It is very similar in appearance to the slightly larger Fea's petrel, and separating these two Macaronesian species at sea is very challenging.  Zino's was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the soft-plumaged petrel, "P. mollis", but they are not closely related, and Zino's was raised to species status because of differences in morphology, calls, breeding behaviour and mitochondrial DNA.  It is Europe's most endangered seabird, with breeding areas restricted to a few ledges high in the central mountains of Madeira.
  Title: Polites peckius
  Passage: Polites peckius, the Peck's skipper, is a North American butterfly in the family Hesperiidae (skippers), subfamily Hesperiinae (grass skippers).  This skipper ranges across Canada from British Columbia, as far north as Cartwright, Labrador; Moar Lake, Ontario; Leaf Rapids, Manitoba; and the Hay River area in Alberta.  In the US, it ranges in most of the northern and central states, except on the west coast.
  Title: Laysan albatross
  Passage: The Laysan albatross ("Phoebastria immutabilis") is a large seabird that ranges across the North Pacific.  The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are home to 99.7% of the population.  This small (for its family) gull-like albatross is the second most common seabird in the Hawaiian Islands, with an estimated population of 2.5 million birds, and is currently expanding (or possibly re-expanding) its range to new islands.  The Laysan albatross was first described as "Diomedea immutabilis" by Lionel Walter Rothschild, in 1893, on the basis of a specimen from Laysan Island.
  Title: Wisdom (albatross)
  Passage: Wisdom is a wild female Laysan albatross.  She is the oldest confirmed wild bird in the world as well as the oldest banded bird in the world.
  Title: Long-tailed shrike
  Passage: The long-tailed shrike or rufous-backed shrike ("Lanius schach") is a member of the bird family Laniidae, the shrikes.  They are found widely distributed across Asia and there are variations in plumage across the range.  The species ranges across much of Asia, both on the mainland and the eastern archipelagos.  The eastern or Himalayan subspecies, "L. s. tricolor", is sometimes called the black-headed shrike.  Although there are considerable differences in plumage among the subspecies, they all have a long and narrow black tail, have a black mask and forehead, rufous rump and flanks and a small white patch on the shoulder.  It is considered to form a superspecies with the grey-backed shrike ("Lanius tephronotus") which breeds on the Tibetan Plateau.
  Title: Red-billed tropicbird
  Passage: The red-billed tropicbird ("Phaethon aethereus") is a tropicbird, one of three closely related species of seabird of tropical oceans.  Superficially resembling a tern in appearance, it has mostly white plumage with some black markings on the wings and back, a black mask and, as its common name suggests, a red bill.  Most adults have <dfn id="">tail streamers</dfn> that are about two times their body length, with those in males being generally longer than those in females.  The red-billed tropicbird itself has three subspecies recognized, including the nominate.  The subspecies "mesonauta" is distinguished from the nominate by the rosy tinge of its fresh plumage, and the subspecies "indicus" can be differentiated by its smaller size, more restricted mask, and more orange bill.  This species ranges across the tropical Atlantic, eastern Pacific, and Indian Oceans.  The nominate is found in the southern Atlantic Ocean, the subspecies "indicus" in the waters off of the Middle East and in the Indian Ocean, and the subspecies "mesonauta" in the eastern portions of both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans and in the Caribbean.  It was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of "Systema Naturae".
