| Pictures - this is my first acceptable picture of an elepaio, taken in a koa grove off the Pu'u O'o trail. Note that the plants and rocks were considerate enough to remain still for the photo. The elepaio is a wonderful little bird. Often they are quite sociable, approaching with curiosity and little fear. | |
