birds!

a view where migratory birds nest, right now it's the shearwater breed

a closer view of the rocky ledges we spot a monk seal:

 2 nesting shearwater babies - one facing in and one facing out ;)

 another chick waiting for its parents to return with dinner

 shearwater adults

Nene - Hawaii's state bird

 eating berrries

a birdie - I don't know what its breed is

this finch was eating the white feather-like thingys in the pod:

hard to see and not that clear but there was a plover, red-crested cardinal and java sparrows all eating together:

 I don't know what kind of plant this is - but it was huge and very orange ;)

 red cardinal

 Japanese white-eye

 some kind of sparrow maybe?

we saw a pheasant but didn't get its photo =(
