On the breeding grounds of the north, a small bird flies into the night, takes a bearing for the south, gains altitude and flies onward. If Wood Thrush hasn’t been documented as Cane Toad prey, it can now be added to the list. The rails did indeed come to investigate but came up empty-beaked. The equation seems incredible.

Ka’ena Point is also a breeding ground for the Federally protected Laysan albatross, where 45 nests were being carefully monitored by the non-profit Pacific Rim Conservation. The oldest Laysan albatross was last seen raising a chick on Midway Atoll in 2016, at age 66. They are docile and devoted parents who will not leave their nests.

A lovely looking and distinctive sounding bird (so they say, I sadly have not seen one…yet), the Kirtland’s Warbler can only be found during its breeding season in Jack Pine forests 5 to 20 years old in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. Rapai also accompanies an experienced volunteer on the annual Kirtland’s Warbler Census.
