'Ūlili Probing
With an expansive migratory range, the wandering tattler lives up to its name. ‘Ūlili, the Hawaiian name, resembles the wandering tattler’s alarm call. On tropical islands it prefers probing crevices and crannies on intertidal shorelines and exposed reefs for invertebrates, often dodging breaking waves. ‘Ūlili were considered messengers and scouts of the gods.
A magnificent navigator, the tattler annually migrates from Alaska and Canada to tropical Pacific islands on a high endurance non-stop flight of 3 to 4 days over thousands of miles of featureless open ocean. Using the stars and the earth’s magnetic field (perhaps visually with quantum entanglement) to find its way. Tringa incana, non-breeding plumage.
