Birds, birds, and more birds
Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge的点评
点评:We stopped by the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge on a rainy day. The visitor's center was very interesting, and had nice clean bathrooms. The Friends of the pond organization had reasonably priced gifts, such as magnets and t-shirts. We drove from the visitor's center over to the ponds, but we could have walked. There were a lot of Black-necked stilts (AKA Hawaiian Stilt) and a few other birds, but not many due to the weather. We returned the next day under better weather, first stopping at the Kealia Bird Sanctuary board walk. Again, not many birds, but it was a nice visit. The boardwalk has a couple of spots where you are invited to take a picture from a phone holder and then submit it via email. You will then get a link to a page of time-lapsed photos taken by visitors over the years. It was interesting to see the ebb and flow of the ponds. All in all, a very nice stop with friendly staff at the center and no admission fee.
翻译:在一个雨天,我们顺道去了凯利亚池塘国家野生动物保护区。游客中心很有意思,洗手间也很干净。池塘之友组织出售价格合理的纪念品,比如冰箱贴和T恤。我们开车从游客中心走到池塘边,其实步行也可以。那里有很多黑颈长脚鹬(又名夏威夷长脚鹬)和其他一些鸟类,但由于天气原因,数量不多。第二天天气好转,我们又去了那里,先去了凯利亚鸟类保护区的木栈道。鸟类数量依然不多,但这次游览很愉快。木栈道上有几个地方可以架设手机拍照支架,然后通过电子邮件提交照片。之后你会收到一个链接,可以查看多年来游客拍摄的延时照片。看着池塘水位涨落很有意思。总而言之,这是一次非常不错的游览体验,游客中心的工作人员很友好,而且免费入场。
