Spotted
The Kauai Akepa is a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to Kauai. Males are dull orange, while females are yellowish-green, and both have a conical, slightly crossed bill adapted for gleaning insects.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to a very small area of high-elevation native wet forests on the Alakaʻi Plateau of Kauai, Hawaii.
How to spot
Focus on mature 'ōhi'a and koa forests in its restricted range. Look for its distinctive, though duller, orange (male) or yellow-green (female) plumage and note its unique bill shape. Listen for its high-pitched, soft, and slightly buzzing calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident, but extremely rare and challenging to observe. Best chances are during early mornings, often requiring permits for access to its remote habitat.
