Maui, Kehei, Mud flats: About 1100-1245 accompanied by Dr. Fred 
Ludwig, I visited the Kehei Mud flats area. The flats were quite dried 
up compared to 4 weeks ago and the birds were mostly confined to the 
areas near the small river which feeds into the ocean here. There 
were definitely fewer stilts, hut about the same numbers of Heron, 
Sanderling and Plovers. Increased numbers of Turnstones and Tattlers 
were noted. We photographed -mostly today, but did note that the Stilts 
(seemed to be paired) were attached to a particular point of land. 
They seemed to already have staked, out territory. However, only 5 
stilts were seen all morning. 
The Herons represented all age-classes and I noted that each bird 
had its sacrosavent fishing territory which he defended against all comers.
