This S. American native was more widespread on Kaua'i than my reading before the trip had led me to believe. It was one of three lifers I got while just looking off of my balcony, the other two being Red-footed Booby and Chestnut Munia.
Thanks, Michael. We are in Kauai now. I saw this bird and really wanted to identify it. (I love birds, and want to know what they are, but am not really a birder) . Thanks again. Jo Ann, RN
