About These Birds
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.
Antillean Siskin
The Antillean Siskin is a small finch endemic to Hispaniola, weighing only 9 grams with a wingspan of about 13 cm. This tiny seed-eater inhabits pine forests and montane scrub at higher elevations. Males typically display bright yellow-green plumage characteristic of the Spinus siskins.
