    Best month to visit Hawaii?

    I see that no one responded to your inquiry even though a year has past. Therefore, I will share what I know and hopefully it will be helpful. The forest areas that you're interested can get quite rainy in the February/March time period you are looking at. However, that is also the time...

    Can someone give me a run-down of Hawaii?

    For Kauai, there's Jim Denny (http://www.kauaibirds.com/contact.htm). He and Jack Jeffrey have collaborated on a bunch of books. (http://www.kauaibirds.com/books.htm) There's David Kuhn (http://soundshawaiian.com/recordist.html), but looking at his website doesn't show any tours. You can try...

    Can someone give me a run-down of Hawaii?

    If you're on the Big Island, you can try contacting Jack Jeffrey. He does the tour into the Hakalau Forest. http://jackjeffreyphoto.com For Maui, there's Hosmer Grove in Haleakala National Park. http://nuttybirder.com/Wheretobird/Hawaii/hosmergrove.html#.W5CppC2ZNBw The Nature Conservancy...

    What is this?

    Juvenile Hawaii Elepaio? I saw a Juvenile Kauai Elepaio once, and it looked like this.

    Advice and Referrals for birding on the Big Island

    In regards to Hakalau, you will need to get in contact with them at (808) 443-2300. They have a website. According to that, the Upper Maulua Unit is open Saturdays, Sundays, & holidays from sunrise to sunset. I have never been up there (something I will have to correct one of these days), but...

    ID request

    Ah, so it is a juvenile then? I've never seen one. I've seen lots of adults in Naalehu. Thanks for clarifying that.

    Oahu Business Trip Planned - Birds!

    Most of the seabirds you've mentioned are on offshore islands. There are no wild Nene on Oahu, maybe at the Honolulu zoo? Bkrownd already mentioned the problem with I'iwi on Oahu. You'd have much better luck at Hosmer Grove on Maui or Koke'e on Kauai. You can also find Nene on both those...

    ID request

    Perhaps a Yellow Billed Cardinal with some kind of disease? They're pretty common in South Kona. Here's a photo I took of one last year...

    Hybrid honeycreepers

    Well that's interesting. They're all descended from a common ancestor. Perhaps some hybridization can occur?

    Mauna Kea

    Thanks for the info. I've driven past that checkstation many times in the past. About how far do you need to walk in to start seeing Palila?

    Mauna Kea

    How does one get access to that side of Mauna Kea?

    I'iwi and noddies on Maui?

    I have had great luck in seeing I'iwi at Hosmer Grove up at Haleakala. It's best to look for them in the morning before the heat of the day sets in. There's a short trail that leads to a bench and railing that overlooks a small gulley. This is just one of several spots along the trail that...
