Cutest honeymooners EVARRRRR! 💕🌺
Guides Ryan and Darla said: It was a spectacular two-volcano trip for our lovely honeymooners on Monday. In one of the photos, Ryan noticed the coolest reflection in Nolan's glasses of Rachel taking pictures and so he took a picture of the reflection. In another shot I just had to get a shot of Ryan because he hiked barefoot on the Halemauʻu Trail. 🥾📸

Looks like a perfect Maui early winter day, too! ☀️🌄

Meet our guide, Shannon! 🌺📸✨

Aloha! I’m Shannon Strazdas. I’ve been coming to Hawaiʻi all my life and have called Maui home since 2015. As a florist, wedding planner, and photographer, I love sharing the island’s beauty through its culture, language, and incredible landscapes. Every tour with me is unique — from waterfalls and jungle trails to Maui’s black, white, and red sand beaches. 🌈🌴💦

Oh, Haleakalā, how you do bring the wonders. 🌋✨ Allison took a few special people up to the top of Haleakalā Volcano to birdwatch (that ʻiʻiwi as a bright spot of crimson in the green of those trees is magic stuff 🐦❤️), investigate the native and endemic plants (and their berries 🌿🫐), and witness the sun setting over the glorious Pacific Ocean from waaaaaay high above it. 🌅🌊

You should come explore some Maui nature with us, don't you think? 🌺🌈

Mesmerizing Koki Beach on the northeast shore of Maui is known for its reddish/pinkish sand, which comes from the gradual weathering and erosion of the red cinder hill called Ka Iwi o Pele, "The Bones of Pele." It can be rough and not always for swimming due to possible dangerous currents. We like to stop by and enjoy it as we experience the Road to Hana, with views of the offshore ‘Alau Island.

Pluma, Dave, Linda, Veronica and Justin explored some Maui nature with Superguide Wendy on a true birding mission from sea to summit! 🏞️🐦

Some of Maui's birds are endemic (found only here), some are native (found here and other places without human intervention), some are migratory, and a lot of them are introduced, with the bulk of those arriving in the late 1800s and early 1900s. 🌺🌍

Just a short list of what was seen on this day (in addition to Haleakalā silverswords!):

In Haleakala (Hosmer Grove & rest of the park & Haleakala Ranch):

‘I’iwi (ee-EE-vee, a.k.a. Scarlet Honeycreeper)—just heard a couple of calls in this case, at the start of the trail, no sightings 🔴🎶
‘Apapane (ah-puh-PAH-nay, the crimson one with white patch under tail and chattery accent)—our first sighting was an adult and juvenile, but then we saw a couple more ❤️🗣️
‘Amakihi (ah-muh-KEE-hee, our masked bandit in green-yellow or grayish green)—some good looks at this squeaky-toy scoldy bird 🙂💛
‘Alauahio / Maui Creeper (uh-low rhymes with ow!- uh-HEE-oh, our little yellow tennis ball) 💛🏐
House Sparrow 🐦
House Finch 🔴
Kolea / Pacific Golden Plover ✨
Warbling White-eye (formerly Japanese White-eye)—just a fly-by 💨👀
Chukar (so many juveniles! In habitat!) 🐤
Red-billed Leiothrix 🌈🐦

At the Kealia ponds:

Hawaiian Coot / ‘Alae Ke’oke’o ⚪
Hawaiian Black-necked Stilt / Ae’o 🖤🦵
Mallard 🦆
Kolea / Pacific Golden-Plover ✨
‘Ulili / Wandering Tattler 👣
Hunakai / Sanderling 🤍
Ruddy Turnstone 🔶
Gray Francolin (the loud birds on dry land) 🔊🐤

We had the best time on our sunset tour with Wendy. She took us around to see a few different sites where we could enjoy the beauty of Maui, learn history and take photos. Our group loved birds so we were pleased to have a second guide who knew a lot about island native birds and helped us to spot them. The sunset was gorgeous and memorable.

Chris and Carrie Esaki spent the day birding Maui with Superguide Wendy and then climbed up Haleakalā Volcano to the realm of the magical silverswords in the "House of the Sun"! 🪶☀️
From golden-plovers just home from Alaska to a Hawaiian Black-necked Stilt fishing at Kanahā Pond—it was a day full of quiet beauty and feathered surprises. 💚
There were some bee booties, too...🐝

Julia Laurin and Jon Woon went birding and adventuring with Superguide Wendy from the salty sea edge 🌊 to the silvery silversword elevations on Haleakalā Volcano 🏔️. What a day. And in addition to seeing shorebirds and one of the most famous endemic plants in the world 🌿, they caught glimpses and pics of a Hawaiian picture-winged fly 🪰. The macrocosm and the microcosm—all of it on Maui.

Jeannette and Mark and Julia! 🪶✨

Thank you for joining our birding excursion on Maui. Superguide Wendy says that was such a pleasure to spend the day with all of you! Lotta cuties in these bird pics, too. 😍📸 It takes a good eye to spot some of these Maui birds, much less catch a pic that isn't out of focus. Mahalo for letting us share them with the wider birding world out there! 🌿🌺

As for the rest of you: Come bird with us on Maui! 🐦🤙
