The 'Akohekohe (aka the Crested Honeycreeper) is one of my favorite Hawaiian birds, all the more so because it is still extant. In addition to a comparison between Marian Berger's work and that of N. Robert Wagstaff, there is a comparison of a few of the prints in my collection featuring 'Akohekohe.
Prints and cards can be purchased at the N. Robert Wagstaff website.
This Wagstaff print can be compared to other 'Akohekohe prints (opens a new browser window).
From the US Audubon Society website: "These flashy, conspicuous birds can be found foraging noisily for nectar in the canopy of high-elevation rainforest on Maui's Haleakala Volcano. Declared an Endangered Species in 1967, 'Akohekohe still faces the threats of habitat degradation by feral pigs and the introduction of avian diseases by mosquitoes. Populations of 'Akohekohe appear to be stable in several important refuges, and a captive breeding program has recently been initiated to augment populations in the future."
