Lee,
Yea, rub it in Lee! LOL Carrie, I feel the same way and now you will be there before me!!!
When I moved to Oahu, actually I should say when I first stayed on Oahu back in 1986 that
was the first thing I noticed. The birdsong in the mornings. How refreshing and delightful to hear them sing. Something a lot of the US is missing is all the wonderful birds that no longer are there.
Many mornings laying in bed on Oahu I would just lay there and listen. I have not been an early riser, but loved to listen to them.
Believe it or not this was in the concrete jungle of Salt Lake area, by Tripler/Moanuloa.
My husband being in the military had to leave Oahu early to help out some big problems in the Pentagon and Boling AFB so it was a short lived stay but one we enjoyed immensely. While in Hawaii he was stationed at Hickam AFB and when we stayed on Oahu we would stay at Kanoehe many times on the ocean in a bungalow there. We always liked to joke that we wish we could just live there. Hardly anyone around in the area and wide open spaces. Leaving the bungalow, you sometimes had to wait because the road also crossed their airstrip. I loved to visit all the gardens on Oahu and see all the birdlife there too among the flowers and the trees.
At Hickam there is always quaranteed to be the Java rice birds at the Burger King and many finches love the Plains over at Eva Beach. That is if there still are any plains left there now.
I do remember seeing one of those yellow birds, so beautiful! A couple of those yellow ones tried to fly in my window in Virginia.
I used to own a couple green singers and Pekin Robins which are a nightingale. Those were very interesting to watch and there were some of them on Oahu also.
Good story!
