Kolea ( KO-LAY-AH) Pacific Golden Plover




This indigenous bird is often seen along Maha'ulepu Beach. The Kolea is usually found in places such as front lawns, ballparks, parking lots, beaches and in low vegetation mountain areas. At night, they often roost on rooftops. Kolea are found year-round except during the summer when they migrate for a two-day, 3,000 mile trip to Alaska. Kolea can fly for long periods at 50-60 mph and often live over 20 years.
