Hawaiʻi is the only place in the world where Pacific Golden-Plovers, known as kōlea, live closely among humans, making them ideal subjects for Kōlea Count, a Hawaiʻi Audubon Society citizen science project. Susan Scott’s presentation explores the history of kōlea in Hawaiʻi, their remarkable breeding lives in Alaska, and how public affection has made Kōlea Count a lasting success. Scott is the author or coauthor of 10 books on the natural history of Hawaiʻi and has served as president of the Hawaiʻi Audubon Society since 2022.
