Soaring on the canyon winds


Koa’e kea, or White-tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus), soaring in Waimea Canyon on Kaua’i.  

Magical to watch these seabirds flying on the winds in these steep canyons.

    I agree. What a treat to see even a photo of this distant elegance that
    stirs the imagination. Now to spend some time to know it, if only in the literature. Thank you!
