I’iwi

Drepanis coccinea

Kula - Kailialinu

May 18, 2023 9:18 a.m.

Photography by me

I’ve decided to start using this blog as a place to put the pictures I’ve taken while birding. And what better way to start that than with possibly the rarest sighting I’ve ever had.

This little guy is an I’iwi and was the main bird I was hoping to find when I visited Maui in May. I remember seeing the flash of scarlet through the trees and the hope that it was an I’iwi. I could’ve stood there and watched it for hours.

Something so small and yet so important. Unfortunately, these guys are one of the 17 remaining species of Hawaiian honeycreepers out of the original 56 species. This rapid extinction has been due to the spread of avian malaria, not to mention habitat loss and predation.

If you ever have the chance to see one of these guys don’t just take one glance. Truly stop to look at them. They’re such a marvel of evolution.

I'iwi, Vestiaria coccinea in Ohi'a-lehua, Hakalau Forest NWR, Hawaii

'I'iwi (ee-ee-vee) Scarlet Honeycreeper

One of the most iconic Hawai'ian animals with it's bright red plumage, the black wings, and the prominent hooked beak. They're altitudinal migrators, where they travel from higher altitudes to lower ones to collect nectar and then back daily.

BOTD: 'I'Iwi

^Image credit: HarmonyonPlanetEarth, Wikipedia

'I'iwi (drepanis coccinea)

The 'I'Iwi, also known as the Scarlet Honeycreeper, is endemic to the main Hawaiian Islands. Their long, curved bill is thought to help it extract nectar from flowers, which it mainly eats - but they also eat small arthropods. Although they are still relatively common in their range, they have lost over 90% of their original range and are listed as Vulnerable and being considered being listed as Endangered.
