| Description |
Springs: These natural ponds are fed by seawater and by fresh groundwater from below the pu'uhonua. Because of the variability of the freshwater springs, the ponds are found to have varying water levels and salt contents. Source: Nature.nps.gov Birds: The ruddy turnstone is a dramatically colored shorebird with short orange legs, variegated russet color pattern on its back, and black and white head, throat, neck and breast. This stocky shorebird is medium in size and distinguishable in flight by their white back, rump, upper tail coverts, wing bar and patch on the inner wing. Migration southward starts in August with adults departing before juveniles and is likely controlled by day length and accumulation of fat reserves. They eat a variety of items throughout the year using their ingenuity. During the winter, they get their insect and crustacean food from shorelines and fields, often turning over rocks, shells and marine debris to find the food beneath – hence their common name of turnstone.
