Hawaii Bird Tours

If you've been on a tour with us, you've probably enjoyed seeing this colony on Oahu thrive thanks to the hard work of Dr. Eric Vanderwerf of Pacific Rim Conservation. We've never seen predation events like this before 2 years ago. Cat feeding stations at the ONLY Red-tailed Tropicbird colony on this entire island is incomprehensible!

Although Bill 51 is targeting Hawaii Island, submitting testimony to support the banning of cat feeding on city/ county property is a step in the right direction. The last reading of this bill will happen on August 6 and you can submit your testimony here: https://www.hawaiicounty.gov/our-county/legislative/county-council/attend-meetings-submit-testimony

On Saturday, Pacific Rim Conservation executive director Dr. Eric VanderWerf found 21 native birds dead near Halona on Oahu’s East shore.

Healthy coral reefs are habitats for marine life, provide food for us, protect our shorelines from impacts, cause waves to barrel, and so much more! Come help us make a difference!
