📸 Share Your Kolea Photos with Us!

Have you spotted a kolea (Pacific Golden Plover) in your backyard, at the beach, or one you’ve watched return year after year? We’d love to see it!

We're inviting you to share your photos of these incredible birds so we can feature them on our website. Your images help us celebrate the kolea’s journey and tell the story of how deeply connected we all are through these remarkable birds.

📬 Send your photos to us  Journey Distilled
Please include your name and where the photo was taken so we can give you credit if we use your photos. (Note: Due to limited space, not all photos submitted will be posted.)

Thank you for helping us celebrate the kolea.

““Kahuli Aku” is an old chant set to music by Winona Beamer. The kahuli (tree snails) or pūpū kanioe (land shells), are the singing snails of legend. The shells chirp in the evening, and ask the Kolea birds to bring them a drink of water.” (source: Huapala.org).

This recording is performed by Winona Beamer’s son, Keola Beamer. Enjoy the music as you view the photos of the Kolea.
