![Hawaiian Hawk, io (ee-oh) in Hawaiian {Endangered species}
Information at this Hawaiian Hawk site
From that site:
"The `Io is endemic to Hawai`i and was a symbol of royalty in Hawaiian legend. The `Io is also the only hawk native to Hawai`i. They only breed on the Big Island but have been occasionally seen on Maui, O`ahu, and Kaua`i. Fossil records indicate that this hawk may also been established on Moloka`i and Kaua`i. They depend on native forest for nesting, but are able to use a broad range of habitats for foraging, including papaya and macadamia nut orchards, as well as forests dominated by native and introduced vegetation, from sea level to 6,500 feet elevation.”](http://www.leigh-hilbert-photography.com/Other/Hawaiian-Creatures-and-birds/i-8L87RsJ/1/Ti/IO_3185-Ti.jpg "Hawaiian Hawk, io (ee-oh) in Hawaiian {Endangered species}

Japanese White-eye Feeds on Ohia Lehua
I really like these little birds. They keep very busy all day sucking ohia lehua flower nectar and plucking bugs off the trees. They originated from Japan I believe and are known there as Mejiro. One pair built a nest just off my deck a couple of weeks ago but they are very sneaky, and I seldom see those two. I am pretty sure they have laid the eggs but the nest is nearly completely hidden within the top forks of an ohia tree.
