In 2003, we renamed the CCH Newsletter, Hawai‘i Conserver, to celebrate the kōlea (Pacific Golden Plover, Pluvialis fulva). Kōlea fly nonstop to Hawai‘i from nesting grounds in the Siberian tundra and western Alaska each fall. They feed on insects and other foods in Hawai‘‘i, fattening up for the return flight by May. Kōlea are one of the most frequently seen native birds in Hawai‘i, faithfully returning to the same habitat year after year.
