The first native bird species of my recent Hawaii birding trip was Hawaiian Goose (Nene) --- there was a flock near the Kawai'ele Waterbird Sanctuary on Kauai.

Nene is the official state bird of Hawaii & endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.

Must be amazing to see Nene in the wild (I’ve been visiting the captive ones at WWT Slimbridge on and off for my whole life pretty much). Such a charismatic goose!

I was sooo excited to see them in the wild! One of the Hawaiian bird species that was a must-see.
