There are very few actual cardinals in Hawaii, but these are everywhere.
They are not native, but then again, none actually are. The original hot lava was not conducive to nest building.
Wasn't there some crazy woman a few generations ago who thought it'd be a good idea to import all the birds mentioned in Shakespeare to Hawaii?
(You know... one of the downsides of living in the days of the internet is you can't casually make mention of these anecdotes you might have heard once upon a time without feeling obligated to look it up lest you be accused of lazily spreading false information without due diligence... Oh, well, here I go... Okay, maybe it was New York and not Hawaii but I think I first heard it in Hawaii.... but.... by luck your bird was almost the very first hit: https://www.kqed.org/quest/50085/invasi ... on-the-way)
I guess I should change my signature, and start promoting this meta: Hungry Little Creature. I was going to sent it to people for testing but I dropped the ball on it.
On shore thanks to Zoomers. In hindsight, really happy I didn't put more effort into it. Looking forward to a tricky medical meta someday.
Regards to all,
Jim
At sea. I think I see the meta instructions but can't make anything work. I have two stacks of algebra exams to grade this weekend, so I'm going to find a dry spot at the bar and stay with Isaac.
