Birding in Hawaii with Grandma

Ranked #4,376 in Pets & Animals, #110,390 overall

Birding in Hawaii will add a whole new dimension to your vacation.

The Nene (pronounced "nay-nay") is the State bird of Hawaii. The Nene is a land bird and a variety of Hawaiian Goose.

The Nene has endured a long struggle against extinction. During the 1940s, this beautiful species was almost wiped out by laws which allowed the birds to be hunted during their winter breeding seasons when the birds were the most vulnerable.

By 1957, the Nene was named as Hawaii's State Bird.

    Great Hawaii birds. Makes me want to go there again. I am not sure what my favorite birds there were but the nene at our campsite inside the crater and the Magnificent Frigate Bird gliding beside us on the lava trail to Kalalau are about tied. wow.

    I used to love to go bird watching when I was in Idaho. The Whooping cranes were my favorite to watch. I saw some beautiful birds when I was in Hawaii, but I'm not exactly sure what they were. On my next trip I will definitely take a bird book with me.
