Trail Cam Bears

Trail Cam Bears is a short video of Pennsylvania Black bears climbing a pole to get at a bird feeder. Their antics are priceless. Their ability to hang on with just their front legs shows the strength these animals have. These are wild animals. They can weigh up to 700 lbs. Their acrobatics can be funny but you do not want to mess with them.

Kawaikoi Stream Project Oct. 2021

In October of 2021, Dave Lampert and I hiked the Pihea and Kawaikoi stream trails. Our objective was to check the streams for any Rainbow Trout still existing in the more inaccessible sections of the streams. Our hope was to find any holdovers that had created a breeding population in the upper headwaters where the water is cooler and has more oxygen. What we found was the trails were totally over grown from non-use due to the pandemic, even the local pig hunters had gone through there. We cleared the trails using machetes, and we were able to access the stream sections we wanted and fished the pools. Unfortunately, NO trout! This was very disappointing and now the only way we are going to get trout back into the Kawaikoi Stream is if we restock it and that will only happen if the State Dept. of Land and Natural Resources permits it by giving us brood stock from their trout hatchery on Oahu. Watch the video and see our expedition.
