Beschreibung
Set on the western shore of Kauai, the Kawaiʻele Waterbird Sanctuary is a 35-acre restored wetland that serves as a refuge for Hawaii’s endangered waterbirds. The sanctuary is especially known as one of the best sites on the island for viewing Hawaiian Gallinule, Hawaiian Coot, Hawaiian Stilt, Hawaiian Duck and Black-crowned Night Heron. Visitors can also frequently observe Hawaiian Goose. These species rely on the sanctuary’s carefully maintained ponds and vegetation for nesting, feeding, and shelter.
