We've always had Java sparrows and Mynahs around the house, but this week we've suddenly got a Pacific golden plover (Kolea, in Hawaiian) cruising around the back yard. So far he's too skittish to let me get a picture of him; I've got the camera on the kitchen counter, but the moment I open the screen door he's gone. Wildlife photography must be one of the most frustrating forms of human occupation imaginable.
They tend to winter in Hawai'i, coming back to the same place year after year. If he takes a fancy to our yard, that would be pretty nifty.
