One evening Gaby and I decided to check out Queen's Bath in Princeville, Kaua'i. It's a natural, large tide pool carved into the lava shelf on the north shore. Apparently it was a royal bathing place.

It was a steep path down to the water, a little difficult with flip-flops. I almost didn't take my camera. Thank goodness I did because as we were making our way down, there was a
White-rumped Shama bathing in a pool of water (fitting right?). It then perched on a branch and began to shake and preen its feathers.

It was amazing to see! Another non-birding couple even stopped to watch. It didn't mind that we were relatively close to it. A few days prior, I had played hide-and-seek with another White-rumped Shama and never got a decent photo. This was the most memorable bird behavior I witnessed on our trip.
Another great moment here was when we saw a couple sea turtles feeding on kelp at the edge of the water. So cool!
