Hawaii
Hawaii ( ; haw, Hawaii or ) is a state in the Western United States, located in the Pacific Ocean about from the U.S. mainland. It is the only U.S. state outside North America, the only state that is an archipelago, and the only state geographically located within the tropics. Hawaii comprises nearly the entire Hawaiian archipelago, 137 volcanic islands spanning that are physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania. The state's ocean coastline is consequently the fourth-longest in the U.S., at about . The eight main islands, from northwest to southeast, are Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lānai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii—the last of these, after which the state is named, is often called the "Big Island" or "Hawaii Island" to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago. The uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands make up most of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, the United States' largest protected ...

Hemignathus Wilsoni
''Hemignathus'' is a Hawaiian honeycreeper genus in the subfamily Carduelinae of the finch family, Fringillidae. These birds are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Extinctions Many of its species became extinct during the 19th and 20th centuries due to a combination of habitat destruction, introduced predators, and most importantly mosquito-borne diseases. One species, the giant nukupu'u (''Hemignathus vorpalis''), is known only from fossils, and became extinct in prehistoric times when Polynesian settlers deforested the lowlands for agriculture. Taxonomy (Sub)Genus ''Hemignathus sensu stricto'' - pointed or long and downcurved bills, insectivores or nectarivores. The Nukupu‘u: * Giant nukupu‘u, ''Hemignathus vorpalis'' - prehistoric * Maui nukupuʻu ''Hemignathus affinis'' - probably extinct (late 1990s?) * Oʻahu nukupuʻu ''Hemignathus lucidus'' - extinct (1837) * Kauaʻi nukupuʻu ''Hemignathus hanapepe'' - probably extinct (late 1900s?)

Woodpecker
Woodpeckers are part of the bird family Picidae, which also includes the piculets, wrynecks, and sapsuckers. Members of this family are found worldwide, except for Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Madagascar, and the extreme polar regions. Most species live in forests or woodland habitats, although a few species are known that live in treeless areas, such as rocky hillsides and deserts, and the Gila woodpecker specialises in exploiting cacti. Members of this family are chiefly known for their characteristic behaviour. They mostly forage for insect prey on the trunks and branches of trees, and often communicate by drumming with their beaks, producing a reverberatory sound that can be heard at some distance. Some species vary their diet with fruits, birds' eggs, small animals, tree sap, human scraps, and carrion. They usually nest and roost in holes that they excavate in tree trunks, and their abandoned holes are of importance to other cavity-nesting birds. They sometimes com ...

Lanai
Lanai ( haw, Lānai, , , also ,) is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and the smallest publicly accessible inhabited island in the chain. It is colloquially known as the Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation. The island's only settlement of note is the small town of Lanai City. , the island was 98% owned by Larry Ellison, co-founder and chairman of Oracle Corporation; the remaining 2% is owned by the state of Hawaii or is privately owned homes. Lanai is a roughly apostrophe-shaped island with a width of in the longest direction. The land area is , making it the 43rd largest island in the United States. It is separated from the island of Molokai by the Kalohi Channel to the north, and from Maui by the Auau Channel to the east. The United States Census Bureau defines Lanai as Census Tract 316 of Maui County. Its total population rose to 3,367 as of the 2020 United States census, up from 3,193 as of the 2000 census and 3,131 as of ...

Loxops Virens
''Loxops'' is a Hawaiian honeycreeper genus in the finch family, Fringillidae. Most of them are commonly known as akepa. Taxonomy There are 5 species in this genus, two of which are recently extinct or possibly extinct: * Akekee or Kauai akepa, ''Loxops caeruleirostris'' *Hawaiʻi ʻakepa, ''Loxops coccineus'' *Hawaiʻi creeper or ʻalawī, ''Loxops mana'' * Maui ʻakepa, ''Loxops ochraceus'' - possibly extinct (1988) * Oʻahu ʻakepa, ''Loxops wolstenholmei'' - extinct (1930s) Molecular analysis supports the genus diverging from its closest relatives, the ''Chlorodrepanis'' ʻamakihis, during the earliest Pleistocene, about 2.47 million years ago. The clade containing both genera is sister to the genus '' Magumma'', which contains the ʻanianiau, from which they diverged during the latest Pliocene, about 2.78 million years ago. Genetic analysis of the extant species supports ''L. mana'' as being the most basal extant member of the group, diverging from the other species slig ...

Warbler
Various Passeriformes (perching birds) are commonly referred to as warblers. They are not necessarily closely related to one another, but share some characteristics, such as being fairly small, vocal, and insectivorous. Sylvioid warblers These are somewhat more closely related to each other than to other warblers. They belong to a superfamily also containing Old World babblers, bulbuls, etc. * "Old World warblers", formerly all in family Sylviidae ** Leaf warblers, now in family Phylloscopidae ** Typical bush warblers, now in family Cettiidae ** Grass warblers and megalurid bush-warblers, now in family Locustellidae ** Marsh and tree warblers, now in family Acrocephalidae ** True warblers or sylviid warblers, remaining in family Sylviidae or moved into the Timaliidae ** Cisticolid warblers, family Cisticolidae * Malagasy warblers, the newly assembled family Bernieridae Passeroid warblers The two families of American warblers are part of another superfamily, which unites t ...

Maui Parrotbill
The Maui parrotbill or kiwikiu (''Pseudonestor xanthophrys'') is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to the island of Maui in Hawaii. It can only be found in of mesic and wet forests at on the windward slopes of Haleakalā. This species is critically endangered, with an estimated population in 2016 of 250-540 individuals, but more recent estimates of less than 150 individuals. Fossil evidence indicates that the bird could at one time be seen in dry forests at elevations as low as , as well as on the island of Molokai. Description The Maui parrotbill is one of the larger Hawaiian honeycreepers, measuring and with a mass of . The bird is yellow on the breast, cheeks, and belly, olive-green on the wings, crown, tail, and back, and has a bright yellow supercilium. The upper mandible of the bird's beak is hooked and dark gray, while the lower mandible is chisel-like and pale ivory. Males are longer-winged, larger-billed, and heavier than females. Juveniles are gray- ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
