Birds
 

Some of the best bird watching on the island can be found at Aimakapa Fishpond.  This wetland area provides habitat for an amazing variety of birdlife, including some species that are not found anywhere else in the world!  Other species can be found spending the winter months in the fishpond, having traveled to Hawai'i from other parts of the globe.

Keep your eyes open when visiting along the coastline and you may also spot a variety of native shorebirds.

konane game board with lava and coral game pieces  

Did You Know?
Did you know the game of Konane is similar to checkers in the way the pieces are moved on the game board and similar to chess in that the winner is the player who is able to make the final move. Chiefs would sometimes use the game to settle disputes.
