A pair of Myna wait for the pigeons

A pelagic stingray spent its time in the waters directly in front of the lodge
Several Chestnut-breasted Munia on a thorny branch

The Criobe center was closed, but situated in a lovely spot on Opunohu Bay.

Starting the hike up to the Three Pines Lookout.
Some of the trail we were following was part of the XTerra triathalon about a month prior. Signs marked the way.
The path crossed several little creeks coming from Mt Tamarutofa
