Where to spot
Widespread across all the main Hawaiian Islands (Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai). It inhabits native wet and mesic forests, particularly those dominated by 'ōhi'a trees.
How to spot
Look for this bright crimson bird feeding on 'ōhi'a flowers. Its brilliant red body, black wings, and white undertail-coverts are unmistakable. Listen for its diverse array of songs and calls, including whistles, trills, and buzzing notes.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Easily observable during the day, especially in 'ōhi'a forests when trees are blooming, as they actively feed on nectar.
