Manu-o-Ku

Rich Downes, of Hui Manu-o-Kū, and Keith Swindle, of Hawaiʻi Audubon Society, talk about all things manu-o-Kū and a festival honoring the city's official bird.

The streets of Downtown Honolulu might not be the first place you'd think to bird watch, but at least one very special bird calls this city home: the indigenous manu-o-Kū, also known as the white tern. Today's Manu Minute was made with recordings from the Macaulay Library at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.
