I saw this Wandering Tattler on the rocks at Upolu. It was a very windy day and the bird was not keen to move, so I hunkered down and got ready to photograph it when it finally took flight. As might be expected, the bird did not cooperate, and it wasn’t until I moved that it took to the air and disappeared downwind.

This Wandering Tattler struck an obliging pose on a rock on one of my early morning walks near Kawaihae.
I saw this Wandering Tattler at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park and realized that I’d never seen one in a tree before. Usually I see them wandering over the rocks in search of food. I’m not sure what this one was up to, but it took off not long after I saw it, probably heading for the shoreline.
When I was down at Kiholo recently, I saw this wandering tattler at the shoreline, hunting around for a bite to eat. I followed it for a while, from a distance.
It snagged a katydid at one point (second photo), but I didn’t see it catch anything else. It spent a fair amount of time around one particular rock (third photo), which caused a good deal of consternation for the a’ama crab that was there. I think the crab was a bit too big to fall into the category of prey for this particular bird.
I just wanted to say that I like this photo because the bird’s shadow reminds me of the evil penguin (Feathers McGraw) in the Wallace and Grommet movie, The Wrong Trousers. That is all.
