A wonderful shot from my wife Wendy--this is a juvenile I'iwi feeding on mamane. 🌿📷🦉

Happy New Year everyone! For this last day of 2024, here's probably the best bird shot I got this year. I'iwi on Māmane, Haleakala National Park. 📷🌿🦉

I'iwi spend a LOT of time collecting food, as they're primarily nectavores...sometimes they get acrobatic about it. : ) For the #BirdOfTheDay theme #CollectingFood , I'iwi on mamane!

Probably one of the best I'iwi shots I've gotten. This one was greedily feeding on the māmane nectar, this was the 1/250th of a second it wasn't buried in the shrub. And look! Feets! 🦉🌿📷

I'iwi on Māmane bush/tree on Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii. A honeycreeper it fills the niche to some extent that the lack of hummers miss.
I apologize for putting things up and removing them. My typing is execrable.

I'iwi on a native Māmane bush/tree which flowers (yellow) feed the Hawaiian Honeycreepers which fill the niche that hummers do on the American continents.

There are fewer than 900 Palila left in the world, all living in the dry Mamane forests of the Big Island, and Mamane seeds are one of their only food sources. Feral sheep and goats have decimated these trees.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LifelnTheBalance — Celebrating birds captured in precarious or unexpected positions. So of course we have an upside-down I'iwi...anything for mamane nectar! #birds 🌿🦉

Two Bird Twosday? I can do that--here's a pair of I'iwi in the rain, perched on a native mamane bush. :) 📷🦉🌿

This one hits both the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Feathers and also the alternate #BirdsInABush. A close up of an I'iwi in a Māmane shrub, feel free to zoom and you can see the delicate neck feathers and the ones around the beak that help with pollination. 🌿📷🦉

Day 29: Palila
This Hawaiian bird is definitely my favourite one, as yellow is my favourite colour. Here sitting on the Māmane flowers.

So I keep seeing drawings of I'iwi on my timeline this morning, apparently there's an I'iwi-based event happening? Anyway, here's a photo of one of these adorable, endangered goofball birds. #AvianAugust #birds

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Snacks (any bird eating), here's a lovely little I'iwi sipping Māmane nectar in the dappled light and shadow of Hosmer Grove in Haleakala National Park. #birds 🌿📷🦉

All right, here's an I'iwi in a more normal pose for one of these absurdly agile birds: upside down hanging from a māmane bush and pollinating all over the place (for that sweet, sweet nectar of course) :) 🌿🦉📷

One from the archives--what's better than one I'iwi? How about a PAIR? Don't get to see this very often, but sometimes during courtship more than one individual will share a perch. I was fortunate to be there to capture the moment. :) 📷🌿🦉

If you haven’t seen it is #AvianAugust from @cookiedoves.bsky.social and the theme is Hawaiian Birds.
I drew the I’iwi with Māmane - Sophora chrysophylla, a native Hawaiian tree/shrub that is part of the pea family.
A drawing of an I’iwi, a mostly red bird with black primary and tail feathers and a hooked orange bill. It is perched looking left atop a branch of māmane, a yellow hooded flower with bipinnately compound leaves. The background is a light blue.

Way too much fun making these manu buddies 😆 Palila with a basket full of Māmane snacks, ‘ōma‘o with a lil ‘ākala berry snack

The alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme is #juveniles , this is a baby I'iwi, still in cryptic plumage, getting breakfast from a mamane that's mostly gone to seed. Also fits the main #woodland theme. :) #birds 🦉📷🌿
