Bismarck Honeyeater

Tiny greenish bird restricted to a small range in Tasmania. Primarily greenish-gray. Black wings with obvious white spots. Adults have yellow face, which is absent in juveniles. Take care to distinguish from juvenile Spotted Pardalote (which is more boldly marked on the back and more spotted on the crown). Only found in areas of dry forest in Tasmania. Forages almost exclusively on manna gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) and is typically only present where there are trees old enough to have hollows for nesting.

Handsome small tanager that inhabits the canopy of humid forests, forest edges, and woodlands; often accompanies mixed-species flocks and visits feeding stations. Mostly green with a blue crown and throat and red cheeks and nape. Males have a black back and females are duller with a mottled black back.

A small flycatcher of forested habitats on Hawaii Island. Adults have white wingbars, rump, and tail tips. More common and widespread in native forest at higher elevations, but occurs at lower elevations in some areas where forest remains. Bold and curious; not afraid of people and may follow hikers. Often holds tail cocked up at an angle. Male song is a shrill “El-eh-pie-oh” for which the species is named. Both sexes give a variety of calls and scolding notes. May respond to pishing and squeaking.
