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.
Black-capped Siskin
The Black-capped Siskin is a small finch restricted to the high-altitude pine and mixed forests of southern Mexico and Guatemala, with males showing a bold black cap contrasting with yellow-green plumage and white wingbars. It inhabits open highland forests and forest edges above 2,000 meters. It feeds primarily on small seeds from conifers, grasses, and other plants.
