Named Kōlea by ancient Hawaiians, Pacific Golden-Plovers are migratory shorebirds that raise their chicks in Alaska in summer and spend winter in Hawaiʻi. To learn more about when they arrive, where they settle and how many Kōlea migrate to Hawaiʻi, the Hawaiʻi Audubon Society has created Kōlea Count, a citizen science project that enables Hawaiʻi residents and visitors to participate in long term counting and monitoring of these beloved birds.
