Hilo at Lili’uokalani Garden and Kuhio Kalanianaole Park

At Liliuokalani gardens, and near it we saw quite a few birds.  In Hilo, within 2 miles of the port, we saw:

Nene Goose – State Bird of Hawaii

Nene Geese

Japanese White-Eye

Wandering Tattler

Short-Billed Dowitcher

Pacific Golden Plover

Saffron Finch

Common Myna Bird

Great Myna Bird

House Sparrow

Each of these birds has an interesting story, is there one you want to take a moment to learn more about?

The Nene Goose only lives in Hawaii for instance! And that’s just one piece of their story.

I have done my best to identify these birds, with the help of technology. Any corrections would be greatly appreciated.
