Juvenile Wedge-Tailed Shearwater

Juvenile Wedge-Tailed Shearwater (Puffinus pacificus) , Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, Kauai, Hawaii
 

A juvenile wedge-tailed shearwater (Puffinus pacificus) looks out from its nest on a high cliff in the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kauai, Hawaii. The Hawaiian name for the bird is `Ua`u Kani. While the wedge-tailed shearwaters are relatively common on the coasts of the Hawaiian islands, the birds are threatened by modern life and recovery efforts are underway.
