Gambel's Quail on Kahoʻolawe – Golden Hour Call

Bathed in golden light, a pair of Gambel’s quail (Callipepla gambelii) greet the morning from a rugged outcrop on Kahoʻolawe. With one calling into the crisp air and the other quietly surveying the scene, their presence blends seamlessly into the island’s arid, volcanic terrain — a snapshot of stillness and sound on an often-forgotten island.
