Laysan Honeycreeper - Fringillidae Vestiaria coccineai

A print from a painting owned by the Hawaiian Legacy Archive. I grabbed copies of this and two other images because they are such beautiful prints of Hawaiian birds. They are auxilliary to my Marian Berger collection. A comparison of 'i'iwi prints is available (opens a new browser window).

From the US Audubon Society website: "'I'iwis have one of the most widespread distributions of all native Hawaiian songbirds, occurring on the islands of Hawai'i, Maui, Moloka'i, O'ahu, and Kaua'i. Because of 'I'iwis' propensity for seasonal movements in search of flowering trees, it is difficult to assess fully population trends for this species. However, it appears that 'I'iwis are experiencing a population decline, except at higher elevation sites."
