Ma waena o nā lālā lehulehu o ka ʻohana tern, noho ka wahi keʻokeʻo i kahi wahi kūikawā. Hoʻopiʻi kēia manu i kona ʻano keʻokeʻo o ka hau, kahi e hoʻokūpaʻa i nā maka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele, paws a me ka nuku bluish. ʻO nā pūʻulu o nā tern keʻokeʻo hau, e piʻi ana i ka lewa ma kahakai, e like me nā ao e hūnā ana i ka lā. Kāhea ka poʻe he nui i kēia mau manu kupaianaha no ko lākou nani kupaianaha.
Hōʻike tern keʻokeʻo
Kamaʻāina kēia mau manu i ka poʻe ornithologists; noho lākou ma kahi o ka poʻe no nā makahiki he haneli, e hele pū ana me nā moku lawaiʻa a me ka nānā ʻana mai kahi kiʻekiʻe, koho ka poʻe i nā ʻupena.... I loko o nā makahiki, ua aʻo ʻo terns e "hoʻohana" i ka poʻe, i kēia manawa a laila ka huki ʻana i nā iʻa liʻiliʻi mai ka wai, i hōʻole ʻia e nā kānaka.
Helehelena
ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia manu ma mua o 35 knm ka lōʻihi, akā ʻo kona ʻēheu he 2 mau manawa ka nui, hiki iā ia mai 70 a 75 cm. ʻO ke keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo, nā pōʻaiʻeleʻele a puni ka pouli, nā maka nānā, kahi nuku polū ʻeleʻele i ke kumu, ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele i ka hopena.
Pālua ʻia ka huelo, e like me nā ʻōpua e pili ana i nā tern. ʻIke maopopo ʻia nā membrane melemele i nā ʻeke ʻeleʻele. He mea hoihoi e nānā i ka lele o kēia manu, me he mea lā e ʻālohilohi ana i nā kukuna o ka lā - mālamalama, lokomaikaʻi loa, he ʻano like ia me kahi hulahula mystical.
Hana, nohona nohona
Kāhea ʻia nā tern keʻokeʻo e ale i ke kai.... Lilo ka hapa nui o ko lākou ola i ka lele ʻana ma luna o ka ʻili kai e ʻimi ai i nā pio. Akā i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka lā e piholo ma lalo o ka pae, holo wikiwiki nā pūʻā keʻokeʻo i kahakai, kahi a lākou e noho ai no ka pō ma luna o nā kumulāʻau a i ʻole nā pōhaku. Makemake lākou e noho i nā kolone, kokoke mau i nā manu ʻē aʻe e noho kokoke iā lākou.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo nā tern keʻokeʻo, e like me ko lākou lāhui ʻohana, ʻoluʻolu loa kekahi i kekahi. Ke kū koke ka ʻenemi, lele koke nā manu o nā nui liʻiliʻi iā ia. Me nā leo uē nui loa, hāpai lākou i ka pū waikaua, e pale ana i ka ʻenemi mai kokoke. A ʻo ko lākou nuku ʻāwi a me nā ʻūpā hiki ke hōʻeha i nā kānaka.
He koa ʻo Terns, neʻe wikiwiki lākou i ka lewa, hoʻokele manuahi lākou i ka lele ʻana, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻolewa, lele koke i ko lākou mau ʻeheu, akā ʻaʻole lōʻihi. ʻOiai ʻo ka pūnaewele pūnaewele, makehewa nā mea ʻauʻau tern. Ma nā nalu, hiki iā lākou ke lilo i mau minuke wale nō, makemake i ka holo ʻana i nā paukū, e kuʻu wiwo ʻole ana i nā kihi kaawale o nā moku, mai kahi a lākou e nānā ai no ka mea pio.
Hoihoi ia!Me nā leo uē, hōʻike terns i nā ʻenemi, hoʻoweliweli aku i nā mea ʻaihue, a kāhea aku no ke kōkua.
Wā ola
Ma ka averiga, ola nā tern keʻokeʻo ma kahi o 30 mau makahiki. Akā he nui ko lākou mau ʻenemi, no laila ʻaʻole ola nā kānaka āpau mai kēia ʻohana a hiki i ka wā elemakule.
Kahi noho, nā wahi noho
ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā tern keʻokeʻo e noho i nā tropics a me nā subtropics: ʻo Maldives, Seychelles, a me Trindade Ascension Island a me nā mokupuni liʻiliʻi he nui o ka ʻAkelanika a me nā Moana ʻInikia kahi home o nā kolone nui o nā tern keʻokeʻo.
Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā wahi āpau i kēia mau wahi. Hoʻopilikia lākou i nā kamaʻāina kūloko, e waiho ana i nā kahakaha o ka lepo ma luna o nā hale, nā puka aniani, i nā māla, e hōʻino ana i nā hale waiho ʻai me nā iʻa. Akā hauʻoli ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i ka nānā ʻana i ke ola i nā kolone o kēia mau manu.
Hānai keʻokeʻo tern
I ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā kapakai a pau o nā pae moku, hānai nā terns i nā iʻa iʻa. ʻAʻole kānalua nā kolone i noho kokoke i ka poʻe i ke koena o ka lawaiʻa a nā lawaiʻa, ke kali nei no ka hoʻopau ʻana o kā lākou ʻupena. Akā he poʻe loaʻa maikaʻi lākou iho.
Hoihoi ia! Mai ke kakahiaka nui hiki iā lākou ke ʻike ʻia ma luna o ka ʻili o ka wai, e lele wikiwiki ana ma luna o ka wai ponoʻī a i ʻole e piʻi kiʻekiʻe ana i ka lani.
Kōkua ka maka maka iā lākou e ʻike i nā kula iʻa mai ke kiʻekiʻe o 12-15 mau mika. ʻIke i ka ʻike ʻana i ka unahi o nā unahi, a i ʻole nā pāpaʻi i puka i kahakai, a i ʻole nā mollusks i piʻi aʻe i luna, luʻu wikiwiki ka tern i lalo, e hopu ana i ka mea pio me kona nuku loloa.
Luʻu maikaʻi ʻo Terns, no laila hiki iā lākou ke luʻu i loko o ka wai i hohonu loa... ʻAi koke lākou i ka iʻa i hopu ʻia. Kaulana pū nā tern keʻokeʻo no ka hiki iā lākou ke hopu a paʻa i kekahi mau iʻa i ko lākou nuku i ka manawa hoʻokahi, a i ka 8 i ka manawa like. Akā hōʻike nā manu i kēlā "kuko" i ka manawa wale nō lākou e hānai ai i kā lākou keiki.
I kēia manawa, ma ke ala, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke ʻai wale i ka iʻa, pāpaʻi a me ka heʻe. Pinepine i ka lele, ʻai lākou i nā mea kolo, hopu i nā crustacea a me nā larvae i loko o ka wai, a i kekahi manawa hoʻololi i nā mea kanu mea kanu, ʻai i nā hua a me nā greens.
Hoʻohua a me nā keiki
ʻOiai ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana o nā terns i nā kolone, monogamous kēia mau manu, noho paʻa lākou a kiaʻi pono i ko lākou ʻāina i ka wā o ka pūnana. Kaulana nā keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou e kūkulu i nā pūnana, mai hoʻopilikia iā lākou iho me ke kūkulu ʻana o ke ʻano like o nā hale no nā moa.
Hoihoi ia! Hoʻokahi wale nō hua manu a kahi mau, kahi e hiki ai i ka manu ke hoʻomoe pono ma luna o kahi kumulāʻau i loko o nā lālā, i ke kaumaha i loko o nā pōhaku, ma ka ʻaoʻao o kahi pōhaku, ma kahi e hiki ai i kahi hua manu keʻokeʻo ke moe mālie.
Manaʻo nā ʻepekema ʻaʻole kūkulu nā terns keʻokeʻo i nā pūnana no hoʻokahi kumu maʻalahi - pono ʻoe e pale i ka embryo mai ka wela. Lawe ʻia i kahi pale, puhi ʻia ka hua e ka makani, a ʻo ka mehana o ka hulu o ka makuahine e hoʻopakele iā ia mai hypothermia. Hāpai ʻo Terns i kahi pēpē - e hāliu nā kāne a hāʻawi i kekahi manawa i kekahi e mahi ʻai no ka meaʻai. Hānau ʻia ka pēpē ma hope o 5-6 mau pule.
Hāʻawi ke kūlohelohe i nā tern pēpē me ka hiki ke ola ma ke kau ʻana ma luna o ka lālā a i ʻole nā pōhaku. Uhi ka fluff keʻokeʻo i ke kino o ka hame, a kōkua nā wāwae ikaika a me nā māiʻuʻu i ke kākoʻo paʻa. No kekahi mau pule, e hānai nā mākua i ka pēpē, me ka luhi ʻole a hopu i ka mea pio iā ia. A e noho ka moa ma kāna lālā, e kau ana i luna i lalo i kekahi manawa, akā ʻaʻole hāʻule.
Aia kekahi hōʻike mai nā kamaʻāina o nā mokupuni e hoʻopili i kā lākou mau hua i nā kaupaku, nā pā i ka malu o nā kumulāʻau, nā paipu wai o nā hale haʻalele. A kū nā keiki, paʻa paʻa i ke ola, hoʻohuli iā lākou iho i nā ʻenemi, e loaʻa ana ka ikaika no ka lele. Ua piʻi aʻe ma luna o ka ʻēheu, kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa ka tern, akā, ma ke ʻano he rula, ʻaʻole ia e haʻalele i ke kolone.
ʻEnemi kūlohelohe
Hoʻāʻo pinepine nā pōpoki ʻāhiu a me nā pīpī e komo i nā wahi pūnana o nā terns e pāʻina ai i nā hua manu a pēpē paha... ʻO kēia kahi e pono ai ka wiwo ʻole a me ka hiki ke kū aʻe no lākou iho nā manu, kahi e holo like ai i ka ʻenemi. Akā ʻimi pū kekahi mau holoholona ʻē aʻe i nā hua, manaʻo ʻia lākou he mea ʻono i waena o ka poʻe e hele e ʻohi i kā lākou "ʻai", e hali ana i nā hua i loko o nā hīnaʻi.
Ua pāpā mua kekahi mau mokupuni i kēlā ʻano lawaiʻa ʻana, e mālama ana i nā terns, nona nā helu i hōʻole nui ʻia. Lilo nā mākua terns i pio no nā mea ʻaihue ma ka lani a ma ka honua.
Heluna a me ke kūlana o kēia ʻano
Laki ka keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo - ʻaʻole ko lākou helu i kumu no ka hopohopo i ka hapa nui o nā wahi a kēia mau manu e noho ai.... Ma hea kahi mea liʻiliʻi o lākou, kahi e manaʻo ʻia ai nā hua manu a me nā holoholona mea momona i mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi loa no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, hoʻokau nā luna kūloko i nā kapu no ka hana ʻana, hoʻopaʻi nui ʻana i nā mea lawehala.
