This post is dedicated to nene, the native goose once hunted to near-extinction on the Hawaiian Islands. These nene are alive, well, and free of the hazards of human hunting. (Note tags).
You'll find these particular nene at Big Island Country Club, Big Island, Hawaii, where they make up a considerable gallery of birds who, at times, will hoot and honk at your duffed shots on the Pete and Perry Dye track.
More background about the nene, courtesy of the environmental web site ARKive.org: Nene was adopted as the official bird of Hawaii in 1957, and a notable feature is relatively long legs. These enable nene to go mobile over rugged terrain such as lava fields. Accordingly, they hike about minus the waddle typical of other geese (or, your garden variety tubby cat).
Nene, yet another good reason. Learn about about a Big Island vacation rental. Don't forget, you're always welcome here.
