Spotted
The Akikiki, also known as the Kauai Creeper, is a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to the island of Kauai. It is a small, grayish-brown bird with a short, pointed bill, known for its arboreal foraging.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to a small area of high-elevation native wet forests on the Alakaʻi Plateau of Kauai, Hawaii.
How to spot
Focus on the native 'ōhi'a and koa forests in its restricted range. Look for its active creeping movements along branches and trunks. Listen for its distinctive, high-pitched, whistled calls, which are often the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
A year-round resident, but extremely rare and difficult to observe. Best chances are during early mornings in its specific, remote forest habitat. Observation often requires guided expeditions with permits.

The Akikiki is one of the few Hawaiian honeycreepers that habitually forages by creeping up and down tree trunks and branches, much like a nuthatch.
