Kilauea lighthouse

The Kilauea Lighthouse is now a wild life sanctuary. It's on a spur of land jutting out into the ocean to the northeast.



Here's the view to the south showing nesting areas.



The white birds are mostly red-footed boobies. Closer to us were red- and white-tailed tropic birds who do this most amazing backward flying mating flight, circling below and then above each other while drifting back in the strong winds - impossible to photograph.
