Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park
Wildlife Viewing

The park provides the opportunity to spot some of the unique wildlife found in the Hawaiian Islands.  An amazing number of migratory bird species fly to Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park every winter to use the wetlands of 'Aimakapa Fishpond.  Endangered Hawaiian stilts and coots make their home in the the Kaloko Fishpond.  Along the shore, you can watch for sea turtles and shorebirds or may be lucky enough to see a Hawaiian monk seal hauled out on the beach basking in the sun.

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.
