Finishing my list of birds I saw in February in Hawaii. I am unsure about these: Are these the same bird? First Kauai and second Big Island. I thought Pacific Golden Plover, but now they look slightly different to me and , the next, a Skylark? Big Island , the last two are from a NWR on Maui, a Sanderling? I have an in flight picture also if more needed and I have no idea on this one. . Thanks.

Agree with 1-4. #5 is a Laughing Gull. In 3 years on O'ahu, that's the only gull I saw, and only once at that.

I wasn't even sure it was a gull. I was aware they are not common in Hawaii, but am pleased we had the others right...really wasn't sure the first two were the same. Really pretty birds.

Laughing Gull? OK educate me please. I thought they had black heads. Is this a juvenile then? I found a better picture.
