Thing to Do
Birdwatching at Kaloko-Honokōhau
NPS
Grab your binoculars and set out on a birdwatching adventure along the Kona coastline. See the vibrant yellow saffron finch, hear the boisterous calls of the common Myna, and watch as the ʻAukuʻu (black crowned night heron) silently stalks its prey.
If you are visiting during the winter months, keep an eye out for our migratory visitors like the kōlea (Pacific golden plover) that travels thousands of miles from their Alaskan breeding grounds to the islands.
Stop by the visitor center to pick up a brochure on the common birds in the area or access this Bird ID PDF from our website.
