Hoeman, Vincent D. 1964 Later, back at Hawaiian King Hotel, more paperwork, but walking to dinner Jillson, Whiteman and I visit Waikiki Beach at sunset and see plastic i.d. tag put up by Waikiki Lions Club on a Hibiscus tree there. From other trees on a parkway between lanes of Monsarret Ave. came the pre-roosting noise of at least 100 mynas, quite like their close relative Sturnus vulgaris, but more varied of voice. During the day they travel nearby always in pairs. Late this evening Jillson and I visit Ala Wai canal with lights. Besides the species mentioned yesterday at least two others were captured. Also small jellyfish and on the rock wall geckos. Barnacles and a species of green crab are plentiful in the shallows while larger fish jump out in the middle. On the wall are cockroach-like insects over 1 1/2 inches long. Another insect I observed today were what look like pure-black bumble bees. They were landing at the bases of the long narrow campanulate flowers as long as they were. It is calm and hot tonight after partly cloudy day in which clouds built up, but no rain except a few drops fell here. February 2--About 0630 hours. Sibley, Clapp, Ely, Huber, King and I leave on field trip to see Oahu birds not found in Honolulu. We drive through the agricultural (sugar cane and pineapple) central valley and find the small road which runs over the forested mountain shoulder to Waimea. When this becomes impassible to our rented vehicles, we walk. The forest below, on either side of our ridge road was a uniform coreaceous green, save for an occasional patch of lighter green of the ohia trees which are the mainstay for the flower-feeding birds of the Drepanididae.
