From the US Audubon Society website: "Active and feisty, these little wren-like flycatchers are found on three of the Hawaiian Islands-Hawaii, Kauai, and Oahu, where they are unusual among Hawaii's native birds in being able to persist in disturbed forests with introduced plants. Populations remain fairly healthy, except on Oahu where they have seriously declined in recent decades."
Three Frohawk prints of Elepaio are shown: of the subspecies Chasiempis sandvicensis, Chasiempis gayi, and Chasiempis sclateri. These same three subspecies are included in Marian Berger's single painting of Elepaio for the Living Endemic Birds of Hawaii series. This second image is the subspecies gayi.
Marian Berger's paintings of Elepaio can be found on my website at: 1985 Lithographs, 1990 Lithographs, Living Endemic, and the Marion Collection.
