Family Jaunt
Happy Father’s Day!
An adult ‘alae ‘ula teaches the brood to forage for a meal at the edge of a marsh. Despite being nearly fledged and the chicks occasionally pecking at their findings, they still vocally and behaviorally begged to be fed by the adult. The ‘alae ‘ula is an endangered, Hawaiian endemic subspecies of the common moorhen or gallinule. They typically construct a platform nest in marsh or wetland embankment vegetation. In Hawaiian mythology, the red shield is the result of scorching received while delivering fire from a deity to humans.
