Honolulu – Birds we saw near the Capitol building and port area

cattle egret

Another cattle egret — I found these thin birds quite remarkable to watch.

Great myna bird

pacific plover

two cardinals

Red-crested cardinal 

House sparrow

Zebra Dove

Spotted Dove

A pigeon and white pigeon (I’m hearing these white pigeons are often mistaken for doves and referred to as doves, I would love to understand that better.)

Canary

a Rooster, roaming the streets of Honolulu

a wild Turkey?

Gulf Fritillary — not a bird, but a butterfly that posed for us.

Have you seen these birds before? Are any of them new to you?

Is there a bird you really want to see?
