My first new gallery from the photos I shot while visiting Kauai in February 2015, this gallery features birds of the island. The highlight of my birding experience on the island was to have found the Nene, the Hawaiian Goose, which is the state bird and endemic to the islands. That bird was the goal of my drive to the Kilauea Lighthouse Wildlife Refuge, and happened to be the first bird I spotted upon exiting the car. I hadn't walked more than 5 feet before the Nene appeared on the edge of the parking lot, waddling among the parked cars.
