That only the stars of heaven know where Pae is in Hawaii Five-0 series episode O Nā Hōkū O Ka Lani Ka I 'Ike Ia Pae March 2, 2018, affects golden plovers.

Directors Jerry Levine and writers Matt Wheeler and David Wolkove build an 'ōlelo a'o ("advice") about Chief 'Umi's fisherman priest, Pae, into Season 8's 16th episode. His sons carried Pae's bones somewhere Chief 'Umi could not collect them and convert them into commemorative fish hooks for continued lucky catches of Hawaiian fishes. They declared that "Aia a loa'a ka pūnana o ke kōlea, loa'a 'ola ia 'oe ("When you find a plover's nest, then you will find him")."

Michelle Shioma (Michelle Krusiec) expired prematurely in prison after exposing to Adam Noshimuri (Ian Anthony Dale) the whereabouts of $10 million, according to Japanese organized crime.

Adam, as organized crime division head within the Hawaii Five-0 task force, favors an alternate scenario of Michelle ferreting her money where nobody easily finds it.

Physically and sexually mature female Pacific golden plovers go on non-stop, three- to four-day, 2,982.58-mile (4,800-kilometer) journeys to Alaska to gather tundra lichens into ground-out nests. They have, from yearly breeding seasons between June and August, single-brooded, 25- to 26-day-incubated clutches of four round, smooth 1.93-inch- (48-millimeter-) long, 1.29-inch- (33-millimeter-) wide eggs. Seven- to 15-year life cycles involve monogamous parents incubating semi-glossy black-, brown-, gray-blotched and spotted buff to creamy buff or ivory-yellow eggs on permanent nesting grounds.

Pacific golden plover hatchlings journey as 24-hour-old nestlings at running paces to their parents' nearby permanent second homes amid moister arctic and subarctic grasses and shrubs.

Pacific golden plovers, known as kōlea in Hawaiian and Pluvialis fulva (from Latin plūvialis, "bringing rain" and fulva, "reddish-yellow") scientifically, keep 26- to 28-day nestling schedules.

Yellow heads, thighs and wings and yellow-washed hind-collars, faces, necks and chests liven nestlings' black-and-yellow crowns, backs and rumps and gray-white-patched eyes, chins, throats and undersides. The Charadriiformes (from Greek χαραδριός, kharadriós, "plover" and Latin -formes, "shaped") order's dark-billed, dark-eyed, dark-legged, white-eyebrowed, white-undersided juvenile member manifests checkered black-and-tan upperparts and tan-white breasts. Mature 3.53- to 7.06-ounce (100- to 200-gram) Pacific golden-plovers net 9.06- to 10.63-inch (23- to 27-centimeter) head-body and 20.87- to 24.02-inch (53- to 61-centimeter) wingspan lengths.

Mature dark-billed, dark-eyed, tan-faced, tan-legged Pacific golden plovers, observed in 1789 by Johann Gmelin (Aug. 8, 1748-Nov. 1, 1804), offer black-tan-white checkered upper-parts and off-white underparts.

Breeding female versus male Pacific golden plovers present variable-feathered cheeks and underparts versus black heads and underparts, white-banded foreheads and uppersides, black-and-tan upperparts and white-feathered undertails.

Pacific golden plovers queue up beetles, berries, clams, crabs, fish, grasshoppers, seeds, spiders and wireworms in run-and-stop forages over well-drained spring-summer-fall and winter hillsides and ridges. They release clear, haunting, low-whistled pEE-prr-EE breeding songs in northeastern Asia and northwestern North America and clear chee-EEt flight calls to and from Pacific wintertime residences. Trans-Pacific round-trips for wintertime fields, gardens, mangroves, mudflats, parks, shorelines and tidal flats serve Pacific golden plovers an International Union for Conservation of Nature least-concerned status.

Michelle turns up dead, perhaps with arms twisted like Pacific golden plovers' pseudo-fractured wings, but, like them about family nests, never tells predators her treasure's whereabouts.
