The yellow birds with a reddish face are most likely Saffron Finches. They are an introduced species (c. 1960's from So. America). They used to be confined to the west side but have been steadily spreading to the east side. I've seen them at Whittington Park and in Volcano.
The Jackson's Chameleon's jerky, slow gait doesn't mix well with car traffic! We often see them flattened on the roads in Volcano. My wife has helped several across the road.
I thought that the term "biodiesel" referred to vegetable sources. Didn't know it could include flesh.
I forgot completely about the beef industry on this island. Of course there would be rendering plants. I wonder what they do with their products. I hope they don't make cattle feed out of it. I hope they don't process roadkill from highway crews. They probably don't make pet food here.
