On the night we left Kauai to wrap up our retirement gift and 1st trip, & after witnessing Kilauea's 33rd eruption, episode 34 began its fountaining lava flow. Here is my first effort to capture it; turns out it was even more dramatic & rose even higher than I show here. It's so fascinating to me.

We can do better. In the Midwest, the Corps of Engineers tethers barges where birds' nests are washed off sandbars, and it is helping to restore populations. I wonder if a similar solution might provide a place for Monk Seals where they expect to birth and feed nearby.
