Also known as the Kauai Creeper.
From the series of thirty-three prints, Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii, by Marian Berger.
From kauaibirds.com: "The Akikiki or Kauai Creeper is being considered for addition to the Federal List of Endangered Species. It is found only on the island of Kauai and is in decline.
The 'Akikiki moves slowly along the branches and trunks of trees, picking at the bark to uncover a variety of invertebrates. Found only in a single upland area on Kauai, this species is listed as critically endangered and is considered to be at great risk from the effects of hurricanes, introduced predators, and disease. At the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center, the San Diego Zoo is developing techniques for breeding and rearing 'Akikiki."
