Makena Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Andrew and I went to Haleakala today and saw a bunch of these birds... anyone know what they are?? We saw them mostly at around 10,000 ft. We were just curious as we think they are so cute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makena Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 Thanks guys! We enjoyed them, they were running around all over the place making the cutest little noises! It's crazy how much life there was up there, it is so desolate. Thank you Toni for looking it up! Karma for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
