| Hunakai - Hawaiian Sanderling |
I was in Hawaii last R and R, we spent 9 days on Kauai and 3 days on the Big Island. One afternoon we were up at Ke'e beach and saw these cute little birds. I don't know much about birds but figured they were some sort of sandpiper. So today I did a little google searching, and have decided they must be Sanderlings.

Anyway, they were pretty cute and I enjoyed watching them run around the edge of the surf.
Kauai was a great trip. The weather was a little cool and windy, but mostly in the 70's which was a LOT better than the -50's at work the week before. Ugh, I'm tired of winter and we still 3 months to go.
Mahalo to the folks a the Parrish Collection. We rented a house in Poipu from them it was wonderful. Hale Hapuna had plenty of room for all of 8 us, and what a view! We spent several hours each morning on the lanai, drinking coffee and watching whales between Poipu Beach and the Spouting Horn.
