The Maui Creeper, or Maui Alauahio, is a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper endemic to Maui. It is a small, active bird with olive-green plumage and a pale yellowish wash on its underparts, known for its foraging agility.
Where to spot
Critically endangered and restricted to the high-elevation native forests on the eastern slopes of Haleakalā, Maui, Hawaii, primarily within the Hanawi and Kipahulu Natural Area Reserves.
How to spot
Focus on native 'ōhi'a and koa forests in its restricted range. Look for its active foraging on tree trunks, branches, and foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid 'chip' notes, which can help locate it.
When to spot
A year-round resident, but extremely rare and challenging to observe due to its small population and remote habitat. Best chances in early mornings.
