Hawaii represents a blend of so many things: people, cultures, plants, and animals. While diversity is generally a good thing, many of the introduced species compete with or prey on native species. But the diversity makes visiting here a very exotic experience.
One introduced species that I regularly see in our yard is the Kalij pheasant. It is native to the foothills of the Himalayas. This species was introduced to Hawaii in 1962, as a game bird. This morning, I encountered a pair while I was out walking.
