Birds of the Crater

Daily writing prompt
What is the last thing you learned?

I keep forgetting the name of the most annoying yet fascinating birds on Oahu. The Myna bird. They are always paired together, always. There is never one all alone. And when they congregate, the really congregate! They make a huge noise in a bunch. We can’t even talk during our outdoor meeting in beach chairs when they decide to meet before breakfast at Kapiolani Park! They squawk up a racket!

Today I went on a hike to the summit of Diamond Head Crater and found out that as an Hawaiian state resident, I didn’t need to pay for the visit, or hold a reservation. Cool.

And remember, the morning rain means a sunny rainbow is coming. A double rainbow!
