Maui Birds

While on Maui, I tried to photograph every animal I could find. I was disappointed that I could never find any sea turtles. And I saw some birds that I just didn't have the opportunity to photograph because they appeared when I didn't have my camera. So here's the list of what I saw.

• Nene geese visited us in Haleakala crater.
  
• Mynah birds are everywhere.
  
• Sparrows are common. Nothing special about them, so no photos.
• Finches showed up now and then. Nothing special about them either.
• We saw coots in 2 places.
  
• Black crowned night herons were common in coastal waters.
  
• Stilts were easy to find at the Kealia Pond Wildlife Refuge.
  
• Cardinals and red crested cardinals were sometimes around.
  
• Japanese White-Eyes were on the Ohai Trail.
  
• We saw the occasional Gray Francolin. But not when my camera was handy.
• Cattle egrets, aka cow birds were all over the golf courses. No photos.
• Spotted doves and zebra doves were pretty common. They showed up all the time, but not when I had my camera ready.
• Rock doves showed up now and then.
  
• I saw Java sparrows hanging around a building in Lahaina. I was eating dinner, so no photos.
• Wild chickens are plentiful. Why take a photo?
• Mongoose would zip by. It was always fleeting; no photos.
