Oahu Elepaio
Chasiempis ibidis
A small flycatcher of forested habitats on Oahu. Adults are brown above, whitish below, and have white wingbars, rump, and tail tips. Immatures are reddish brown and have buffy wingbars. Uncommon and local on Oahu, more numerous in valleys. 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 soft calls and scolding notes. Responds to pishing and squeaking.
识别特征
This species looks very similar to the Hawaiʻi ʻelepaio, but the white underside extends to the flanks and further up the breast, and the upper side – especially the head – is more rust-colored.
分类信息
The Oʻahu ʻelepaio was formerly considered a subspecies of the Hawaii ʻelepaio until reclassified as a separate species in 2010.

White-naped Seedeater
Sporophila fringilloides
Large seedeater with a thick white bill. Males are black above and white below. Note the white collar. Females are mostly dark brown with a whitish belly. Found in scrubby white sand forests or grassy savannas. The song consists of many different loud, fast series of musical notes: “ne-ne-ne, te-te-te, ge-ge-ge, jii-jii-jii, tué tué tué...” Most likely to be confused with Cone-billed Tanager, but there is likely no overlap in range.
Moustached Treeswift
Hemiprocne mystacea

When perched in trees, shows 2 white plumes along the face, and males have a rusty ear-patch between. Often seen flying at dawn and dusk. The only treeswift in its range and no other swift comes close to the size or tail length. A sharp “kwik! kwik! kwik” or downward, raptorlike “kweeuu!”.
