Nenes in the rain

Four nenes on a rainy road in Hawaii

I was driving home from work recently, in a downpour of rain, when I came across this column of four nenes wandering down the road. They crossed in front of me, padded down the other lane, then crossed back to the side I was on. I ended up passing them by driving in the wrong lane, since there was no oncoming traffic.

There are quite a few nenes in that area in part because, like most geese, they’re big fans of golf courses!

      They were quite happy, and now they’re protected, they’re not at all skittish. And, yes, they’re distant relatives of the Canada Goose.
