Rare Hawaiian Bird, the I’iwi lives on the slopes of Haleakala in Maui, Hawaii

Up on the slopes of Haleakala, at a lovely spot overlooking a gulch at Hosmer Grove, a rare sight can be seen when you sit quietly and patiently waiting for the I’iwi to come and feed on a flowering bush nearby.  You hear them before you see them… They dont stay long on any one bush. They move quickly onto the next one..  The camera has to be ready… They are gone almost before its too late.
