Marshall, 1945 Palau Myzomela cardinalis Common, all islands. Occurs in large trees or groves in open country. A single breadfruit tree may have [illegible] foraging in it, many of them living. M's & F's outnumber M's I believe. Not recalled from heavy jungle. Much confusion due to similarity of calls to Aplonis (hence different from Marianas). On the Marianas, th notes are high, shrill & wheezzy. On Palau the notes are full whisted tones at lower pitch many of them similar to Aplonis calls. Favor Coconut Palms, Breadfruit trees. More about like all other Passerines seems unusually abundant on Peleliu. No breeding behavior such as using song perches noted - altho some specimens were in breeding condition (F laying).
