For today's Manu Minute, we’ll hear the calls of seabird whose long red tail feathers are prized for feather-working. Thanks to Xeno Canto for these recordings.

Manu Minute: Koaʻe ʻula, the red-tailed tropicbird

Need a break in your day? Whether you're in your car or still in bed, Manu Minute brings you rich sounds from Hawai'i's native forests and shorelines. Each week, we feature a different Hawaiʻi bird and its unique song, and talk about its environment and conservation.

Manu Minute is a collaboration between HPR and the LOHE Bioacoustics Lab at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo. It is hosted by Patrick Hart, the lab's principal investigator, and produced by HPR's Savannah Harriman-Pote and UH Hilo's Ann Tanimoto-Johnson.
