Where did you find these cute babies?! I don't understand the background of the second shot?

From my walk today: Common Waxbill, Japanese White eye (NO!!! I didn't rotate the images - these are pretty common acrobatics from that bird), Saffron Finch and when I was going after the finch I found the Night Heron in front of me...

"...The terns are ground nesters..."
Not all of them, come to Hawaii to see where the White Tern is nesting - easy to detect the tree (Since they usually do it in the town!): many of them are with blue ribbons around the trunk saying: "White Tern nesting. Be careful when trimming!". Off course not every tree is marked (they are so many!)! And don't look for a nest - they lay the egg on bare branch! During the very strong winds few months ago I started following few chicks - to see if they will survive! They did!!!

Nice shots, Maximilian. I prefer the first one as it looks to the left.

Yellow-faced Grassquit (Tiaris olivaceus).
They were introduced in Hawaii (only Oahu) but didn't succeed to make significant population. Opposite: their population was declining with rare records from west Oahu. I don't remember exactly when the last record was posted but it should be ~7-10 years ago. For me it was lost for Hawaii.
Yesterday (on the very East end of the island!) when this thing landed on a branch just 5 meters from me I didn't realize immediately what it is. It took me few seconds to start feeling the adrenaline (you know that cold waves on your back
). Dead man walking - right in front of me! I think it's immature bird probably male.
