There’s much more to Kauai’s wondrous McBryde Garden than its orchids<\/a>. Here are some more photos from our recent visit, starting with Dave’s incredible picture of two rare Hawaiian Moorhens<\/a> looking for lunch in a stream. We were told that they are normally very shy birds, but these two didn’t seem to mind us snapping their photos.<\/p>\n

Among Hawaii’s main islands, Kauai is the last refuge for many threatened birds and plants. McBryde plays an essential role in preserving endangered species. It’s a sanctuary for many of the islands’ endemics<\/a>, like the yellow flowers with a honeybee in the next photo below. That’s a plant called Nehe<\/em> in Hawaiian<\/a>, one of many natives at risk. These and other imperiled tropical species make the garden a true conservation refuge, and a remarkable place to visit. Don’t miss McBryde Garden<\/a> if you’re lucky enough to be on Kauai.<\/p>\n
