Urban wildlife sighting
Never mind the doves and the mynahs and the kolea; I see ‘em all the time. But as I was driving in to work this morning, I saw an ʻaukuʻu (also known as the black crowned night heron) flying over me on North King Street, at the Kalihi Stream bridge, probably on its way out to Keʻehi Lagoon. Wow! It’s cool that wild marsh birds like this still can be seen, even above one of the most built-up waterways in the middle of the city.
