Kolea Pacific Golden Plover

A Kolea, or Pacific Golden Plover, at dusk on the Big Island of Hawaii. This is a long-distance migratory species that spends late-spring to early-fall in Alaska and most of fall and all of winter in Hawaii, so this guy (girl?) should be set to take off for his 3000+ mile, several-hour non-stop journey back to Alaska soon if not there already.
