Dogs on the Beach...

I was amazed at how many dogs were on the beach in Hawaii. Most were running loose, following their people. These are just a few that I managed to get pics of, most of them taken on just one day. The only beach we didn't see dogs on was Waikiki. I wish I had started taking pictures of these dogs sooner as there were so many I didn't get pictures of.

Birds of Hawaii

Surprisingly, at least to me, I didn't see that many birds on our recent trip to Hawaii. The first bird I saw (and heard) was this little brown one.

It was just a Mourning Dove and it looked just like the ones we have here in Michigan but it had a very different song.


This bird was spotted at the Polynesian Cultural Center


These birds were spotted in the parking lot at the beach park near Chinaman's Hat. I was able to google the read headed one and it is some type of cardinal, though considered an "alien" bird to Hawaii, not a native. I don't know what the brown one is though.




These next two birds were spotted on the campus of Hawaii Pacific University when we went to visit Tyler's campus on the Winward side. I've never seen them before either.



I'm sure everyone recognizes these last two. While I spotted chickens like these all over the island, I had a heck of a time getting a picture of them. These two were on the North Shore in the parking lot where we bought our shave ice.
