I led a Hawaii Audubon birding trip on Pu'u O'o Trail (approx. MM23) south of Saddle Road, today. The view was spectacular from there. The snow cap on Mauna Loa isn't as obvious there, but Mauna Kea was impressive. Weather was great! We saw Oma'o, 'Apapane, 'I'iwi, Elepaio, 'Amakihi, and 'Io. Also, seen were Japanese White-eye.
