ANGELS ABOVE OUR HEADS
The skies above HNS have been full of angels!
A RAIN STORM FOR IBUKI
Ibuki got drenched in a downpour and retreated to her perch above the lower-playground sandbox where she called pitifully for her mummy and daddy.
• “Phew. Made it to safety.”
• “Dad?”
• “Mummy!”
• “What are you looking at?”
MS. ERIN’S TERNS
Ms. Erin’s noticed a pair of terns looking at possible nesting sites in the lower-playground kukui-nut trees. Ever since then, they’ve been “Ms. Erin’s terns”!
Recently, they hovered like hummingbirds around the kukui-nut tree closest to Kalanianaʻole Highway.
WHITE TERN ABLUTIONS
White terns work hard to maintain that spotless, angelic appearance!
IS THAT IBUKI?
We noticed what we assumed to be Ibuki back at the branch she hatched on.
Upon closer observation and consideration — “There are two birds, not one!” — we decided Ms. Erin’s terns were giving Ibuki’s birth branch a good looking over for their own egg/chick!
Stay tuned for more EXCITING white-tern adventures!
