This beautiful, dainty bird is the Hawaiian Kolea, also known as the Golden Plover. The Kolea comes to Hawai'i from late summer through October or November all the way from Alaska. These are some of the longest distance migratory birds in the world, wending their way to Hawai'i, Fiji and other South Pacific islands. Some even make it all the way to New Zealand, a journey of 5000 miles one way. The breeding plumage is even more lovely than the wintering plumage, with more pronounced patterning and more golden feathers. After rearing their young in Alaska, the parent leave sooner than the young, so amazingly the young birds make the flight the first time without older birds and find their way to the area that the parents winter.
In Hawai'i, these birds are beloved and their return is eagerly awaited by many. Birds love lawns where they can forage for bugs and so can be seen in many people's yards. The birds typically return to the same area every year and since they can live...
As a fine-art photographer of many years (initially in black and white large format film), my purpose is to capture and share the incredible beauty in our world. I have a passion for travel and photographing the many places I have been fortunate to explore. I am enthralled by both the grand scene of a live volcano or brilliant sunrise and the amazing detail and design of each tiny part of a flower. There is beauty and design in everything around us and the goal of my work is to share that and encourage everyone to look closely and take the time to see what is before us all.
