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. |
