Returning Sea Birds, Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai

Carolyn and I had an amazing evening at an overlook near Kilauea Lighthouse, Kauai, Hawaii. Thousands of returning birds — Great Frigatebirds, Red-tailed and White-tailed Tropicbirds, Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, Red-footed Boobys, Laysan Albatross — wers all coming in to roost on the rocks, in dirt dens, and in the thick brush on top of the cliff. A low moaning sound echoed up to us — very spooky and other-worldly. Going back tomorrow in full daylight. For a poor-quality iPhone video on low light, see >> https://youtu.be/NtZEnfWgF0M?
