Manu O Ku
I took these photos this morning off Diamond Head. The white tern or manu o ku, in Hawaiian, is the official bird of Honolulu. Manu o ku are seen frequently in Kapi'olani Park. The bird appears white but is black under those feathers. The legs and feet are dark gray. This sea bird flies over one hundred miles out to sea. Because this is a threatened species it is protected by federal law. (From Ann)
