Pueo is a protector--he is not finished and I really hope I'll get to him and do him the justice that is his due. The Hawaiian pueo is endangered. One night my car was stuck in the pineapple fields on the way home--and I saw one as I had to walk the half mile or so down the dirt road. He was sitting on a fence post. I remember my feeling of surprise--but I wasn't afraid at all. They are not nocturnal like most owls are. He already looks wise and sad--and doesn't even have a full face yet!
