Maui was certainly filled with wildlife. There were tons of tourists, as well as native Hawaiians, farmers, and fast food workers.

One of the most interesting species we ran across (not over) was the mongoose. Contrary to what the name implies, this is not a solitary goose. It's a furry non-marsupial, apparently related to the cat family, though it looks a lot more like a weasel.

I don't have any photos of mongooses (mongeese...?) because they were mostly seen running across the road in front of our speeding car, barely but consistently making it across alive. We did not see any dead road kill mongeese (mongooses...?)

Here are the few images I did capture of wildlife. Most were tired of posing for tourists and non-cooperative, and I didn't feel like tipping them to get them to pose.

Below is one of many shots of the lone Not-Nene (otherwise known as the Chukar Partridge) on the top of Haleakala. It was running away from the tourists in the parking lot.

I was briefly attacked by a chameleon, though it was hard to tell because they move so incredibly slow it looked more like it was going to sleep. Below is a different chameleon (not the one that attacked me, though it looks identical). This one was attempting to mate with the fence. Chameleons are an endangered species, mostly because their males will hump anything (similar to humans).

We did run into a group of domesticated ducks, subspecies Duckie. This group appeared to have taken up residence in a pot. According to Quora, this is a raft of ducks. To quote: "They are more often referred to as a raft, team or paddling while the group is on water."

Here we have a "Common Myna". Apparently Maui has a poor public transportation system forcing most birds to walk. Every bird I saw walked, except for the crows but they don't count.

This photo was actually a capture of a blowhole. Blowholes are lava tubes that are close to the water, where one end of the tube is open to the surf. When a wave surge comes in the water rushes into the tube under pressure and comes out the other end sort of like a geyser. Kappsshhoooofff.... No, really, that's the noise they make. But in the process of taking this picture I also caught a bunch of Psidium hominibus milling about in the photo. They appeared to be attracted to this water spout and were milling all about.

The most ubiquitous bird on the island was the chicken. There were a lot of them. I ran into a mother hen and her chicks entering a convenience store in downtown Kahului and wasn't surprised. In the rear of this group is a (faux) American Eagle. A set of common, unremarkable birds is watching the larger chickens peck at the ground (probably swallows or finches or some other inconsequential species).
