Hawai'i has a single native hawaiian hawk, the Hawaiian 'Io (buteo solitarius). Like all non-migratory birds that are native to the Islands, this species is likely to have been blown here, likely when the jetstream dips very low into the Pacific. On occasion other raptors have been sighted on the Islands. Blown from their customary migratory route between North America and South America, the first birds arrived before human voyagers discovered the Islands over a thousand years ago. Although there are occasional vagrants (osprey, sea eagles, and peregrines), the Hawaiian hawk remains the only diurnal raptor found on the islands of the Pacific. Fossil remains have shown that other raptors, including eagles and harriers were once found here, but only the Hawaiian 'Io has survived. Like most other endemic native bird species in the islands, the 'Io is threatened by loss of habitat, invasive species that bring avian diseases and other factors. These regally, beautiful birds are my favorit...
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.
