Ubiquitous Kauai Rooster by Weezilou

Ubiquitous Kauai Rooster

When they're just "another of the local birds" they're worthy of a second look to admire their plumage! Here, at a beach park, up on the north shore, there were at least a half dozen roosters with their hens and some chicks. They're prettier to photograph here than in all the parking lots where you'll also see them! Whoever thought a chicken would be something of a novelty?!

Thanks for coming by & I love reading your comments. In my little bit of spare time, I'm just trying to keep up with daily postings...I have hundreds of pictures, so I see one I like, and just go for it! Of course I like for it to tell a story...

Lucky rooster and his hens..... Living on the beach in Hawaii. Very different, interesting and intriguing photo.

Quite big waves in the background. Lovely composition, full of people in the back, and quiet in the front, one cockerel inspecting his grounds. Nice with the leaves on the grass too.

That looks rather surreal - picnickers with rooster.

nice scene, but why are they all over the place?

@chard I think this is what happens with free range chickens...they fly the coop! (I lived in Honolulu as a child & even then I heard about "all the chickens" roaming around Kauai...) Went with a "Chicken Day" theme in my three albums today so I can move on!

So - the chicken crossed the road to go to the beach? ;-) Amazing!

A great photo Louise and as I looked at the other links, I was not surprised at all that you would explore these areas

Hahaha that is the first thing I thought of!! My last pic of a rooster was in a parking lot...it came right over to us and A put her arms out as if to hug him! LOL Cute shot, but ugly background! This is much nicer!

What a fantastic image! Love the proud rooster strutting along not bothered by the party in the background!

What a handsome fella! He certainly knows how to strut his stuff!

Love the contrast between the lush grass and the beach.

Really fun juxtaposition of beach scene and field scene.
