Hawaii

Apr 11- 20, 2023.

Mandy Talpas is leading Hawaii for us this April. If you have seen images of the Hawaiian red bird with the curved red bill, it is an 'I'iwi. The the 'I'iwi, one of the "Hawaiian Honeycreepers" which are actually offshoots of the goldfinch/crossbill family! One of the stars of the show in Hawaii. The 'I'iwi has a bill specialized for feeding on long flowers. Others like the Apapane are generalists. While the most unusual is the "Aki" or more properly, the 'Akiapola'au, which has a long curved maxilla, and a short, chisel-like mandible. This bird is ecologically a woodpecker! These forest birds are not becoming any easier to see as some are on long-term declines, go see them today. The seabirds however are increasing and a real success story. We focus on seabirds as well on this trip, including a trip out offshore where Hawaiian Petrel, "Hawaiian" Bulwer's Petrels and others are possible. I should note the food is great, there is some amazing eating on this trip. It is a state with wonderful weather, and beautiful scenery from the lush green of Kauai, to the more volcanic Big Island; it is no wonder folks from all over the world go to Hawaii. Interested? Well do e-mail us. Or visit Hawaii for more details.
