Description

We will be taking a walkabout tour around Mauna Kea. I arrived on Mauna Kea a little to early Tuesday morning (6:15 am) as the sunrise was just about coming up. Greeting me was this little bird (Quail I think?). She/he wasn't shy at all and came to nibble my camera. They suppose to be wild but this one doesn't think so. Aloha and thank you for viewing.
