PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii (Jan. 21, 2015) Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii's Rebecca Smith, a natural resources management specialist, participated in Hawaii’s statewide Bi-Annual Water Bird Survey Jan. 21 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. She spent five hours visiting six locations on the base looking for various types of birds such as Hawaiian Stilts, Hawaiian Ducks, Coots, Pacific Golden Plovers and Sanderlings. The Navy is invited by the State of Hawaii Department of Land and Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife Oahu Branch to help identify the number of water birds, type, location, time viewed and any habitat observations or trends or changes from previous surveys twice a year.
