Hawaiian 'amakihi
This species is found from Moloka'i to the Big Island, while O'ahu and
Kauai have their own distinct species. The Hawaiian 'Amakihi can be distinguished
from the other yellow honeycreeper on Maui, the Maui 'Alauahio, by its
slightly longer, more curved bill, and by a black streaked lore (the area
between the base of the bill and the eye).
Like all Honeycreepers, the Hawaiian 'Amakihi takes nectar from the flowers
of the forest. Populations of Hawaiian 'Amakihi in the upper forested watersheds
of East Maui are locally abundant.
