Because these lands include a variety of different habitats and range from Alaska to Puerto Rico and Hawaii to Maine, it is difficult to make generalizations about their impact on birds.

While his poem was about the dubious nature of boundaries kept in check by surly New England yankees, the sentiment holds true in Hawaii, at least. “Good fences make good neighbors,” wrote poet Robert Frost. Specifically, the state’s Big Island, where a new fence was just completed in the hopes of protecting an endangered bird.

But the islands of Hawaii have two species that breed in considerable numbers, and the highlight of my time spent working on Tern Island in French Frigate Shoals was spending time with these birds.

But only two states have more than one bird named for them: Hawaii and California, with nine and seven extant and eponymous species, respectively. I suppose a case could be made for renaming California’s two avian endemics – the Yellow-billed Magpie and the Island Scrub-Jay – after the state to pull it into a tie with Hawaii.

Hawaii’s state bird, the endangered goose known as the Nene , has recovered from a population of a mere 30 birds in 1952 to over 2,000 today. The problem is that they seem to find the area around Lihue Airport irresistible so they have to be moved. Clearly there aren’t too many Nene but more habitat is needed.

It does occur in Hawaii, which is where I saw it, but everyone knows birding in Hawaii doesn’t count. Whereas American birders may be familiar with Sooty and Bridled Terns as stormwashed vagrants to their shores, and might get the Aleutian Tern on a pilgrimage to Alaska, the Grey-backed Tern is a much more rarely seen bird.
