    Lovely birds! The first one seems mis-named to me, as I always picture cardinals red all over!

    Such beautiful birds, many of course we never see in Australia. Always wonderful to see fauna and flora of other countries.

    All so cool and different... I know the nene only through NYT crosswords, it seems to show up quite often. Recently a clue said "only state bird on the endangered list". Glad they're still there for you to take a picture. (Though I must admit I'd rather have that showy Cardinal if I were picking the symbol!)

    The Nene Goose shows up in crossword puzzles. I'm glad to see what one looks like. Thanks!

    Kauai is a great place for birds. I had a few firsts and lots of birds I couldn't identify.

    The Nene has been on the brink for many years. Does it now have a self-sustaining population?

    Denise-- I was amazed at the beautiful birds when we traveled to Hawaii. So many colorful varieties. My favorite though.... were the wild chickens. I thought they were gorgeous..
