A Pacific Golden Plover. These birds are also known as the "Kolea". During the summer they nest in Alaska. Their travels from Alaska to Hawaii is a non-stop 50 hours flight. Females will leave first, followed by males and the young are often left to migrate on their own. These birds do not stay the same color for the entire duration of their stay in Hawaii. In August - September when they arrive they are mottled colored. Males will attain a dark black patch on their breasts before leaving the islands in early May. Females also get breeding plumage but look very different from the males.
