Day 13 of Avian August 2025, Birds of Hawaii, hosted by @cookiedoves : ʻAlae ʻula or Hawaiian gallinule (Gallinula galeata sandvicensis)

Found only on Kauaʻi and Oʻahu today, the endangered Hawaiian gallinule is a subspecies of the mainland's common gallinule.

In Hawaiian mythology, the bird is said to have brought the secret of fire to humans. The name, ʻalae ʻula, actually means "burnt forehead," referring to its red shield above the bill.

*Plant featured is the native Hawaiian perennial herb, ʻAkulikuli kai or Shoreline Purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum).

MudHen Shore Trip IPA (Thanks, Steph!). A 3 of 4. Smells of orange citrus and tropical fruit and has a nice creamy body. Didn't expect it to be as hazy as it was, but it's quite nice on the palate and leaves some lingering fruit in the finish with just a touch of bitterness.
