Although I haven't been going bird watching lately, at least I friends who have! My friends Dave and Meg got these pictures while canoeing at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge . Meg was the one taking the pictures. I can't believe how many great pictures they were able to get. It's definitely inspiration to go to a bird sanctuary soon.

On the day of my friend's wedding we made a trip to Punaluu, a black sand beach south of Volcano where we were staying. It was a little overcast once we got there, but it was cool to experience the beach and as an added bonus there was a small wetland area behind the beach where we were able to get some close pictures of ducks and other birds. Here's a view of the area: Yellow-billed Cardinal: Hawaiian Coot: Lesser Yellowlegs: Myna bird: Muscovy Duck:
