Photographing the Islands of Hawaii
Molokai Sea Cliffs - Molokai, Hawaii Photographing the Islands of Hawaii by E.J. Peiker Introduction to the Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of eight primary islands and many atolls that extend for 1600 miles in the central Pacific Ocean. The larger and inhabited islands are what we commonly refer to as Hawaii, the 50 th State of the United States of America. The main islands, from east to west, are comprised of the Island of Hawaii (also known as the Big Island), Maui, Kahoolawe, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. Beyond Niihau to the west lie the atolls beginning with Kaula and extending to Kure Atoll in the west. Kure Atoll is the last place on Earth to change days and the last place on Earth to ring in the new year. The islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii (Big Island) are the most visited and developed with infrastructure equivalent to much of the civilized world. Molokai and Lanai have very limited accommodation options and infrastructure and have far fewer people. All six of these islands offer an abundance of photographic possibilities. Kahoolawe and Niihau are essentially off-limits. Kahoolawe was a Navy bombing range until recent years and has lots of unexploded ordinance. It is possible to go there as part of a restoration mission but one cannot go there as a photo destination. Niihau is reserved for the very few people of 100% Hawaiian origin and cannot be visited for photography if at all. Neither have any infrastructure. Kahoolawe is photographable from a distance from the southern shores of Maui and Niihau can be seen from the southwestern part of Kauai. -

Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015
STATEWIDE COMPREHENSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION PLAN 2015 Department of Land & Natural Resources ii Hawai‘i Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan 2015 Update PREFACE The Hawai‘i State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) 2015 Update is prepared in conformance with a basic requirement to qualify for continuous receipt of federal grants for outdoor recreation projects under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act, Public Law 88-758, as amended. Through this program, the State of Hawai‘i and its four counties have received more than $38 million in federal grants since inception of the program in 1964. The Department of Land and Natural Resources has the authority to represent and act for the State in dealing with the Secretary of the Interior for purposes of the LWCF Act of 1965, as amended, and has taken the lead in preparing this SCORP document with the participation of other state, federal, and county agencies, and members of the public. The SCORP represents a balanced program of acquiring, developing, conserving, using, and managing Hawai‘i’s recreation resources. This document employs Hawaiian words in lieu of English in those instances where the Hawaiian words are the predominant vernacular or when there is no English substitute. Upon a Hawaiian word’s first appearance in this plan, an explanation is provided. Every effort was made to correctly spell Hawaiian words and place names. As such, two diacritical marks, ‘okina (a glottal stop) and kahakō (macron) are used throughout this plan. The primary references for Hawaiian place names in this plan are the book Place Names of Hawai‘i (Pukui, 1974) and the Hawai‘i Board on Geographic Names (State of Hawai‘i Office of Planning, 2014). -

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Great-tailed Grackle Quiscalus mexicanus hypothetical, unassisted occurrence questionable Great-tailed Grackle is resident to N and S America, from the s. U.S. to nw. Peru (AOU 1998). Populations expanded greatly during the 20th century, and vagrants have been recorded N to s. Canada, but it is not considered a highly migratory species. On O'ahu, at least four Great-tailed Grackles have been observed. The first two records involved long-staying birds: a female on the Waipi'o Peninsula, Pearl Harbor, 26 May 1980-14 Jan 1995 (E 44:98, 47:95, 48:114; HRBP 0201, 0236-0237, 0552-0553, 0958- 0959) and a male along the waterfront of downtown Honolulu, most frequently at Ala Moana Beach Park and on Sand I., 26 May 1988-12 Jun 1995 (E 48:78; HRBP 0834- 0837, 0895), which was found dead in Jul (specimen to BYUH collection). The female was missed for long periods (notably a three-year stretch in 1988-1991) promoting speculation that two birds were involved, and two males were reported for a period in about 1992 by workers on Sand I who regularly fed bread to the original male grackle, but we consider only two individuals during this period as substantiated to species. Subsequently, in 2010-2016, at least two and possibly additional male Great-tailed Grackles were seen at various locations around O'ahu. The first male was reportedly rescued from fishing-line entanglement near a barge near Aloha Tower, Honolulu 16 Jun 2010, and later observed nearby. On 28 Mar 2011 a male was found at Ala Moana Beach Park with a missing right foot (HRBP 6776-6777) and it was speculated that it may have lost its foot in the previous fishing-line encounter at Aloha Tower.
