Regal Hunter: Portrait of the ʻAukuʻu

$25.00

This intimate portrait offers a rare, sunlit glimpse of the ʻAukuʻu (Black-crowned Night Heron), one of Hawaiʻi's most patient and skillful hunters. Photographed at the Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge on Maui, this image captures the heron in stunning detail, nestled amongst the vibrant local foliage.

Your eye is immediately drawn to its piercing, ruby-red gaze—an iconic feature of the species. From there, you can admire the subtle textures of its slate-grey and black feathers and the elegant, delicate sweep of its white nuchal plume, a sign of a mature and healthy bird. This isn't just a picture; it's a character study captured with the clarity and precision that only decades of experience can provide.
