TWO YELLOW-BILLED CARDINALS!

ALOHA! I am taking a brief break from posting last week's pictures of the 45th annual Merrie Monarch Festival in Hilo, to share this lovely image of two birds who happened to be in our yard this afternoon. (Thanks to Gary, who commented below, with a positive ID as to this type of bird.)

You can view more pictures of birds in Hawaii by clicking on the "birds" category link on the left sidebar.

Wishing you a beautiful day,

Aloha Bill! You have been visited by a pair of yellow-billed cardinals, a non-native species in Hawaii. Enjoy! Gary
