I won't tell you how many pictures I snapped before I caught this one in my view finder. Yes, he managed to swallow that chunk of whatever it is.

Along Waikiki Beach on Oahu in Hawaii, at sunset.

Linnet


The common house finch, known in Hawaii as "Linnet" or "Papayabird." This one serenaded us on the lanai at sunset.
