About Nene on wiki

This is the last species I have from Oahu and it is taken in the Honolulu Zoo. Nene is not native to Oahu but to some of the other Hawaii islands. Acc to the wiki article it is probably evolved from the Canada goose.

 It was a lot of birds in this zoo, but I will save them for better days. It is great birds but lot of fences spoils the images and they are fom all over the world.

If I made no misstakes I had 21 species while birding on my own. But it was low season and bird areas was closed and so were birding tours. I hope you enjoyed those I shared. :)

We had payed a visit to Ulua Lagoon 4 for a swim and tanning. I has seen those black swans on our way there. I hoped they would still be there when we left. And they were. I sould see 4 of them but photograping was hard as we were on teh main road and could not stop. Just moving slowly forward. Well, I got these shots so I´m happy. 

When I was young they had a pair of swans in a country museum .  One black and one white. They formed a heart with their heads for a moment. So beautiful and my camera misbehaved ,  it was long before digital era. I only got half the shot.   :(

There was lots of white doves in Honolulu. They made you think of angels when you saw them in sunlight.

A very common bird in Honolulu during summer months. I really loved to watch it as I rarely see any of it´s relatives at home.

About White Tern on wiki
It is also known as fairy tern, a very pleasing bird to the eye. I saw it a couple of times and have more images of it, somewhere, in my files. But only in flight images. When I find them I´ll post more.

About White-rumped Shama on wiki

This bird we did not see in the town area, it was on a hike in the rainforest. And it is a male. Female can be seen on wiki. This species seem to be enjoyed as cage birds. So, "my" bird might be an escapee. Video from youtube.
