We visit the Kilauea Point Refuge when we stay in Kauai. You must now make a reservation because they want to limit visitor density because of COVID. Bring your old person National Park Pass for free admission.
Most people take photos of the lighthouse and the beautiful small island immediately below the overlook.
Eventually visitors figure out that the area is really a wild life refuge and the protected area is for birds.
The birds swoop from the nesting area (see video above) around the island and sometimes close enough to the view area to get a photo. You see birders with long lenses, but all I remembered to bring was my iPhone. I did figure out there must have been a nest below one location on the cliff and eventually was able to take the following photos. I think this is a Red-Footed Booby (note the blue bill).
