Pacific Golden-Plover or Kolea

The Pacific Golden-Plover that I saw while on Maui, are winter visitors.  The adults return from arctic nesting grounds in August  the immatures in late September.  These birds shown here are in their winter plumage. 

I saw this one at the winery in the Upcountry.


This one was on the waters edge by our hotel.
