One of the roosters that now live at Mahukona Beach Park. There never used to be any, but the numbers have been creeping up this past year and I think are in double figures now. It’s certainly louder down there than it was!
Huli chicken is an Hawaiian dish, first created in 1955 by Ernest Morgado of Pacific Poultry. The chicken is marinated in a sweet and savory sauce, then grilled on a rotating spit. Huli is the Hawaiian word for turn, hence the name.
These photos were taken at GJ’s Huli Chicken, which operates in Waimea on the weekends. It’s easy to tell when they’re open because the smoke drifts across the road and the aroma is unmistakable!

Driving down to Upolu for a walk, I noticed this cow behaving oddly, so I pulled over to take a look. The reason quickly became clear: a pair of hooves sticking out below the tail. She was about to give birth. I thought this would be a good photo op, so settled in to watch.
The poor cow was up, down, walking, lying down. The pair of hooves did not budge. A couple of times I thought the delivery was nigh, but they were false dawns.
I wasn’t the only one watching the action, or lack of it. Other cows looked on from a safe distance, chickens pecked the ground around the struggling cow, and a cattle egret flew in to see if any bugs might be being stirred up by the activity. In the end, I could wait no longer. I went off for my walk. On my return, nothing much had changed so I went home.
I didn’t contact the dairy. Early in my time here, I tried that, but they weren’t interested and soon after, No Trespassing signs went up on the driveway! I grew up on a small farm and, for us, a new calf was an important arrival to be carefully ushered into the world. But this was a bigger operation, and I’ve learned that the cows are left to get on with it. Truth is, she was probably fine. These things take time and, as every mother out there knows, it’s never easy.

And the answer is, ‘Yes, I am eating French fries and no, you can’t have any.’
