Descrizione
Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is a Hawaii birding hotspot not to be missed. It has one of the largest populations of nesting seabirds in Hawaii. The cliffs are packed with seabirds and Great Frigatebird wheel overhead. The massive Laysan Albatross nests here in the winter and spring, and it’s a refuge for the endangered Hawaiian Goose. You can also observe many migratory seabirds that flock here in the thousands. Among the other birds you can spot are Red-footed Booby, Red-tailed Tropicbird, White-tailed Tropicbird, Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Wandering Tattler and Hawaiian Duck.
