Adopt Me!
Background
Moana was banded on August 6, 2022 as Ocean's third known mate. She has successfully nested with him for two seasons with an average of 4-5 chicks. Although she is extremely shy compared to Ocean, she is very protective of her family and will alert you very quickly if you get too close. Moana is happier nesting in the vegetation with distance from the public while still visiting the tiki huts of Resident's Beach.
