Red-tailed Tropicbird

Koaʻe ʻUla — the red-tailed tropicbird

High above the sea cliffs, Koaʻe ʻUla rides the trade winds without seeming to move a feather. Its long red streamers catch the sun like ribbons of fire, and old island skies feel larger whenever this ocean wanderer passes through them.
