Andrew, that's neat that you have 'Amakihi in your area. I've not spent any time actually searching with binoculars and as a result, have yet to see I'iwi, 'Amakihi, Hawai'i Creeper, or Hawai'i 'Elepaio, all of which are a possibility in the Volcano area. Someone commented to me that the I'iwi are no longer seen in Volcano any longer because the mosquitoes have made it to this elevation along with avian malaria. I think they may still be found in Hawaii Volcanoes NP.
I've seen all of the extant species, including 'Akiapola'au,
'Akepa and 'Alala (Hawaiian Crow), in other areas in past years.
