It is a fun place for a photographer to visit because of the unique opportunity to spot birds that you generally will not see anywhere else on Maui. For example, here is a Wandering Tattler. During the summer (in the northern hemisphere), they can be found in far-eastern Russia, Alaska, portions of the U.S. west coast and northwestern Canada. Some escape the northern winters by migrating to Hawai‘i. Ancient Hawaiians believed they were messengers because they disappeared in the winter and returned in the fall. Subadults may choose to spend their first two years in the islands rather than join their migrating elders. According to Wikipedia, "They feed on aquatic invertebrates such as crustaceans and marine worms. During the breeding season, they also eat insects. While wading, they forage actively, making jerky bobbing movements."
