Hawaiian Bird Life
A very brief photography of the birds living around our house on Alder Street
Introduced from India. Noisy and aggressively territorial birds, the Myna are a common sight around Honolulu. I spotted this one hanging out by the local tip.

Non-native to Hawaii. The dove is similar to the European pigeon (in size as well as behaviour). I pictured this bird from the comfort of our Lanai.
Non-native to Hawaii. About the size of a European starling. I am particularly impressed with these guys, especially the red-whiskered variety. More timid than the Myna or the dove, the bulbuls watch and wait from the comfort of telegraph wires.
Non-native to Hawaii. I can't help but think of puffins. These are the favourite birds of Ellen.

hello mr huggins. just got your postcard - hence just also got your blog. sterling effort. glad to see you've taken an interest in the local birds, and local pass-times. london is about 2 degrees at the moment, with snow in most other parts of the country. all things considered, i'm insanely jealous.
catch a wave for me.

I like the Whiskered Bulbul too...he looks oh so cool....i couldn't help but want to take him to a gig! Even if he is shy.
