likely to be of greatest interest to visitors are three seabirds either known or suspected to breed at the upper elevations: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdfinding.info\/yellow-billed-tropicbird\/\"><strong>Yellow-billed Tropicbird<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdfinding.info\/hawaiian-petrel\/\"><strong>Hawaiian Petrel<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdfinding.info\/newells-shearwater\/\"><strong>Newell\u2019s Shearwater<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The Hawaiian Petrel, in particular, is thought to breed in significant numbers\u2014estimated at 2,000 \u2013 3,000 pairs, which would make this the largest colony of the species.\u00a0 To see or perhaps only hear the petrel, the odds are best between March and August around dusk when the adults return to their burrows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
