Dance Like an Albatross 💃
Hawaiʻi Audubon Society partners with DLNR for Year of our Coastal Kuleana
Our manu o Kū mascot, Aloha Kea, made a special appearance at the Year of our Coastal Kuleana proclamation ceremony at the Governor’s Office. This campaign celebrates the richness of our coastal ecosystems, the ways that coasts connect us as people, and our role in helping to care for our coasts.
Hawaiʻi Audubon Society is partnering with Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture on a campaign that will focus on one coastal and wetland bird in particular — the ʻalae ʻula or Hawaiian Common Gallinule.
Watch these two mōlī (Laysan Albatross) shake it up
Did you know pairs engage in long, noisy, ritualized courtship dances?
Like most seabirds, mōlī nest in colonies, have long-term pair bonds and high site loyalty, lay only one egg per season, and both parents engage in all aspects of raising young.
