Nene in Kihei? Consequence of the sequester, perhaps?
The south Maui park hasn't been mown in ages, though the sprinklers still go off automatically -- result, a meadow as high as a Malamute's eye. So we've been blessed by a visit from the graceful nene [endangered geese] who usually live in Haleakala crater. Guess they spied the juicy meadow and saw lots of yummy bugs on the menu.
Blessed, my furry patoot. These snake-necked vermin started hissing and hooting as soon as they saw us coming and didn't stop yelling till we were out of sight. Relaxing saunter in the park, I think not. They can't be too endangered for me. Mmmmm, goose...
