HD Hanalei Valley Lookout

View of the famous taro fields from the Hanalei Valley Lookout, Princeville, Kauai, HI. May '10.

"Encircled by waterfall-draped mountains, the picturesque Hanalei Valley on the north shore of Kaua'i harbors the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was established under the Endangered Species Act to conserve five endangered water birds that rely on the Hanalei Valley for nesting and feeding habitat: the koloa (Hawaiian duck), the 'alae ke'oke'o (Hawaiian coot), the 'alae'ula (Hawaiian moorhen), the ae'o (Hawaiian stilt), and the nēnē (Hawaiian goose). Forty-five other species of birds (18 of which are introduced species) also use the refuge." http://www.fws.gov/hanalei/
