The Nene, or Hawaiian Goose is the state bird of Hawaii.Wherever we drove around Maui and Big Island we saw signs to take care of Nene's crossing the roads, well they never did cross in front of us!
I did get to see a handful of Nene at the Volcano National Park on Big Island but Fred did not get to photograph the bird.
However we got to see the endemic Hawaiian Owl or Pueo while up on Haleakala, two birds were flying low and Fred was able to get a quick photo as the bird landed a little way from the car.
We had such a good sighting!

Looking at this signboard as we exited the National Park, I only now notice what it says "Live before you Die". I was tired after the hike but I do feel that Fred and I are doing our best to live up to this sentiment.
