Gill, Douglas E. 1964 Kauai hearing it, yes I do. It was a loud high pitch squeak or cheep which was very close to that of an Apapane. I couldn't tell the two apart by call un-less the Apapane gave its variety. No age data were available. Iiwi: We only saw two o[illegible] these both on the trail on the ridge (one was on a slope going up). Both were in the full red plumage. They resembled Apapane closely but were more vermilion than scarlet. The large horny salmon colored beak was obvious. Whereas the Apapane was a very rapid moving bird while feeding (almost bouncing through the branches) the Iiwi was slower moving. It did appear larger,especially with the huge beak. It didn't call so I don't know what it sounds like. Japanese White-eye: a disgustingly abundant bird, outnumbering everything else several fold. One soon learned to ignore its call which was a shiller or a soft chatter. Its great variety of squeals and whistles were often confusing with the Honeycreepers. It was much more active than the Honeycreepers and anything that moved very rapidly through brushes was a White-eye, any-thing that moved Warbler like was a Lesser Amakihi. It was very gregarious and often travelled in flocks, a couple of birds often would work the same branch together. 23 August 1964: Larry was in the car when I woke up around 0830 since it had rained last night. We slowly got organized (?) and decided to make another attempt at Alakai since we had missed it by a great distance yesterday. After buying some supplies at a little general store at the base of Route 55 we drove up to the Ranger Station. While filling our canteens we got new -149-
