It was a very special day.
I was walking back to the beach hut from the bathroom, and noticed a big bird hovering above the beach where people were lying down on the chairs.
I have never seen anything like this.
“What is the big bird doing on the beach?”
I went back to the hut and told my supervisor, “I have seen a big bird flying above the beach!”
After a while, the bird, who looked like the one I saw from the distance, was flying above the beach near us.
I have seen birds flying above the ships when I was in the ocean. However, I have never seen this big bird flying above people on the beach!
He was flying and hovering above the beach. Sometimes he dived toward the surface of the ocean and caught a fish! It was a steep dive, almost vertical dive, and fast. It was so cool!
Then, he kept hovering above our heads for a long time.
Sometimes he flew toward me! He came very close to me, and I was a little scared. Then, he went up to the sky.
When he was hovering right above my head, he was shaking the tail right and left!
I was afraid he may drop do-do on me, so I covered my head. He then flew out and kept coming back!
My co-worker was filing the video with her phone.
His hovering in the wind continued for a while attracting lots of audience.
It looked like he was showing off his dive and hovering in a beautiful breeze.
Today was a windy day, but gorgeous day with blue sky.
I saw lots of “steps toward heaven” clouds from the morning.
I was wondering whether he wanted to show off his flight or to be in the video.
However, I started to feel more than that.
One fisherman happened to be there today, which is not happening much.
He told my co-worker that the bird was 'Iwa, a frigate bird.
Our captain of the ship came back from offshore. He told us that it is very rare to see this bird on the beach.
My co-worker has been working here about 8 years, and she is an ocean girl. She said she had never seen anything like this before!
I started to feel the bird was bringing something good message to us.
I was looking up at the bird and saw a cloud of cross ahead of him.
I heard 'Iwa is a sign of this.
“Rough water will be calm”.
The encounter with 'Iwa made our day.
Later, I was attracted to the ocean. I went closer and saw two Honu (turtles).
This place is filled with living creatures.
This place brings out feeling of love toward living creatures on this planet.
