    Super Bonus Question:

    12. Upon my return from a hiking trip in Haleakala National Park I told my next-door neighbor that I had seen small piles of squid beaks – fresh ones -- near the summit of 10,023 foot high Haleakala. My neighbor insisted that there couldn’t have been any squid beaks in such a place, and that I should try switching to a less potent adult beverage. He was wrong. I did see those squid beaks. Can you explain how they got there?

    I know a few of those, but let me take a stab at the squid beaks: birds?

      in checking the answers I found this for you

      (12) Sea birds did it. Haleakala has a population of Hawaiian dark-rumped petrels (Uau) that nest near the Haleakala summit, presumably to avoid predators. These squid-eating birds regurgitate the indigestible beaks just outside their burrow entrances.


      btw watching sunrise from Haleakala is awesome!!!
