Stew & Rice Kōlea and Kanikapila Geek out over birds and jam out to Kualoa at Dawn at these upcoming events. Tuesday, July 30, 5 p.m. Hawai‘i’s Kōlea, the Amazing Transpacific Life of the Pacific Golden-Plover Only in Hawai‘i do kōlea (Pacific Golden-Plovers) live in harmony with humans in backyards, city parks, and urban spaces. Every April these migratory shorebirds leave Hawai‘i and fly to Alaska, nonstop in two days, to breed and produce chicks. That done, the birds return in August (leaving their chicks behind to find their own way) to the same spot, where they capture the hearts of Hawai‘i residents and visitors alike. Join Susan Scott, President of Hawai’i Audubon Society, to hear the story of what we know, and what we don’t know, about these amazing birds. OCC’s Gerry DeBenedetti will introduce Susan and share her personal experiences traveling to Alaska with Susan to the kōlea breeding grounds. Susan and Gerry were also together in Midway in 2014 on the Fish & Wildlife Service annual albatross count. For more information, visit hiaudubon.org. $27 ++
