This young boy with a kinked tail let himself in to our cottage in Kauai. He let himself back out when some chickens got uncomfortably close to the lanai. - Dead tree near Hale Pohaku
- Eclipse setup
Camera position for photographing the lunar eclipse over Kawelikoa Point, Kauai. Planning for the eclipse was done using The Photographer's Ephemeris on my iPad, with on-site confirmation using the augmented reality mode of PhotoPills. The eclipse was on the first full day of my first visit to Kauai, so I wasn't sure how it would work out, nor was I sure how to get to the location I selected. My wife and I did some advance scouting the afternoon before, but only had time to go partway. The full hike from the end of the dirt road where I parked ended up being a little over a mile, over a combination of beach and trails. I benefitted tremendously from OpenStreetMaps maps that I downloaded to my GPS app, MotionX-GPS. The maps had excellent coverage of the trails, and allowed very efficient route-finding. I recorded my track to the shooting location so I could retrace my steps back to the car in the darkness of the total eclipse. - Gecko snack

This #SuperbOwl flew past us on the Pihea Trail, Kauai. We only saw it for a couple of seconds, and it's not a great picture, but we felt very fortunate to see this subspecies at all.
