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.
American Goldfinch
The American Goldfinch is a bright yellow finch weighing about 13 g with a 14 cm wingspan, widespread across North America in open fields, roadsides, and gardens. Males display vivid lemon-yellow plumage in summer, while both sexes feed almost entirely on seeds, particularly from composites like thistles.
