Fred,Binion, Allen and myself took the car and headed vest from 
Pearl Harbor in order to view some of the countryside. We vent to Pearl 
Citfc and then turned worth up Rt. 75, intending to find the trail 
leading off this route near the Waitnano Hone and walk up the Koolan 
R nge on it. We soon found ourselves in the middle of an unfenced 
mental institute and were unable to find the trail. 
We come back down Rt, 75 and turned west on Rt. 90 past Waipahu 
and ■went down to the edge or West trade where Woodside had showed 
-ms the stilts in December. There were many stilts here again, and also 
quite a few golden plover. I counted about a dozen black-crowned night 
herons out in the vegetation around the edge of the mud flats. 
We then made a loop up Rt. 75 to Wakiawa and back down Rt. 99 to 
Pearl City. This took us through the large central valley where much 
of the pineapple and sugar cane is grown. The fauna of these islands is 
quite scarce and ve saw little of interest other than the scenery. 
We then went up to Keaiwa Ifeiau State Park northeast of Aiea. By 
this time the sky had clouded up considerably and it was getting dark 
and windy. We l?ft the car and. set off along a trail in the nark. 
Shortly after we got into the forest we were fortunate to see an immature 
/ 
elepaio, which turned out to be only native bird we saw that day. This 
brought my number to 2,
