Longish (2:50) video by a DJI Mavic Pro of Kahuku Beach (northernmost end of the windward coast of the island of O'ahu) with kioea (bristle-thighed curlews) flying by. Seeing the freeze frame at 1:08 and the slow-motion at 1:38. Elsewhere, note birds stopping the drone in mid-air as they activate the obstacle avoidance system, followed by a brief pause and the camera refocusing itself.

MONTHLY SIREN SYSTEM TEST CANCELED FOR MONTH OF AUGUST
HONOLULU — There will be no test of the Statewide Outdoor Warning Siren System for the month of August.

Vice President’s Mike Pence is scheduled to attend the ceremony.
