Kaimana

After our rainy adventures on Kauai, we made our way to the three day tournament on the east side of Oahu.  Great tournament, camped the whole time just off of the beach.




Needless to say, it got muddy.

Brown Booby on Kauai

Only decent shot of the Brown Booby briefly spotted.

Kilauea Point NWR

Stopping at multiple drizzly sites along the way, I made my way back around Kauai and out to Kilauea Point NWR.


A variety of seabirds nest on, in and along the cliffs of this refuge, including Red-footed Boobies, Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, Red-tailed and White-tailed Tropicbirds, Great Frigatebirds and Laysan Albatross.

Though nesting season hasn't started yet, the Red-footed Boobies were there in force, staking claim over territories on the cliff's vegetation.


Red feet!


Great Frigatebird


There were a few Albatross flying around, but many more were on the edge of the cliffs.
