About These Birds
Black-eared Seedeater
The Black-eared Seedeater is a small, streaky finch with a distinctive black ear patch contrasting against its pale buff-white face and underparts. It is found in miombo woodland and adjacent open scrublands of central and southern Africa, ranging from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Zimbabwe. It feeds predominantly on grass seeds, often foraging in small flocks on or near the ground.
Akekee
The Akekee is a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper weighing about 11 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. Endemic to the upland forests of Kauai, it uses its uniquely twisted bill to pry open leaf buds and extract insects, and is severely threatened by avian malaria and habitat loss.
