A Common Myna Bird rests on a palm tree at dusk at the Hilton Waikoloa Resort. Originally from India, mynas were brought to the Islands to control worm populations in the sugar cane fields. Now one can find (hear?) hundreds of these birds flocking together from dusk until just before dawn. Visitor tip for non-natives: Bring earplugs or you will get a 3 a.m. wake-up call from these beautiful but noisy boys.
