Ae'o Drink
Monitoring the incoming tide in a marsh pond, this handsome male ae’o searches for fish, arthropods, invertebrates, and an occasional drink of water. Periodically flooded by tides, this type of coastal ecosystem is the favorite habitat of Hawaiian stilts. Though frequently seen in the main Hawaiian archipelago, ae’o, the Hawaiian stilt, is listed as endangered due to loss of habitat and predation by introduced species.
