Field Notes

Description:

Small pheasant-like bird with orange/reddish colored legs with several others of its kind.

Habitat:

Kukio Bay Parking Lot, Big Island of Hawaii

Notes:

While leaving Kukio Bay on our last day of vacation, we saw a bunch of these little birds walking through the parking lot. Thank goodness for this site...we had assumed they were Nene for the past 2.5 years. :) Obviously we don't know our birds.

Thanks for the ID Liam...that was my guess but since I'm new to this, I'd thought I'd leave this one up to someone else.
