PACIFIC MISSLE RANGE FACILITY, Kekaha, Kauaʻi, Hawaiʻi – The annual fledging of Newell’s shearwaters (ʻAʻo) and Hawaiian petrels (ʻUaʻu) on Kauaʻi, begins September 15 to December 15, marking a critical period for two of Hawai`i’s most threatened seabirds. Each year, young seabirds leave their mountain burrows for the first time and make their way to the ocean using the moon and stars as guides. Unfortunately, bright artificial lights can disorient fledglings, putting them at risk of injury or death.
