At Kilauea Lighthouse on Kauai

Between events today I had time to drive up to the north shore of Kauai and visit one of my favorite places on the island -- the National Wildlife Refuge at Kilauea Lighthouse. The Wedge-tailed Shearwaters in their nesting burrows beside the path seemed quite unconcerned about the gawking humans standing nearby, but the Brazilian Cardinal had to be coaxed (with some "pishing" sounds) into perching in the open for a few seconds.
