They are here year round in the marshes, trees, and on the fields, and this time of year they frequent the local lawns. Their curved, tweezer-like beaks probe the crevices for insects and other food as they march slowly, deliberately across the ground. They are beautiful in flight despite the comical appearance of their faces when seen close up, and the sight of them can’t help but put smiles on our faces, except, of course, when they poop all over the driveway.

My wife Fairy and I travel frequently to the Pacific Islands of Hawaii, and French Polynesia, and I have learned several of their native-language songs.
This blog will be a forum to share experiences with family and friends.
