Accidentals

From time to time various sea and other birds passing over the island or blown inland during a storm may be observed in either park. In recent years such accidentals have included:

Red-footed booby (Sula sula): one record, Kilauea (1959). Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus): seen at Kilauea during 1961. Red phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius): one record, Kilauea (1949). Gray-backed tern (Sterna lunata): one record, Kilauea (1959).
