thats an iwa bird (great frigate) it is pronounced 'e vah'
100's of them nest on Alau (pronounced ' allow' ) Island.
In Hawaiian iwa means 'thief' as the bird will attack another bird who has caught a fish or eel and try to catch the dropped catch - google iwa and learn more aloha

Mahalo. A Hawaiian man selling Mahi Mahi Burgers nearby might have said it was an "Iwa Bird" and I heard 'evi'.
