The ʻūlili, or wandering tattler, are common along the shore during the fall, winter, and spring before they head off to their summer home in Alaska. At less than a foot long, they are dark and light gray with a long, thin dark bill and yellow legs. Listen for them calling their name, “oo-li-li-li” as they skim the shoreline.
