We went to the island of Hawaii in February to the Big Island of Hawaii and to Maui. While I didn’t get to log as many birds as I would have liked to, I did get to list some new life birds.
I never thought I’d get excited about seeing a goose as I did when I saw the Nene Goose, or Hawaiian Goose, which is Hawaii’s state bird. We saw a few throughout the island, but the first one we saw was in the rural hills just outside of Hilo where we stayed.
