King, Warren B. 1964 Hawaii 16 Rented car 1000 and drove with David Bratley and David Au to Pohakuloa Game Farm in the saddle between the 2 Maunas. Road passed through wide belt of skinny ohia, much of which was in bloom. Several birds seen flitting across road but no identifications made. Then through lava belt to upper saddle areas which is flat and covered with Marrane, much in full bloom, and Naio. Saw Nene, 83 in all, in pens, many young ones, and 8 Koloa, 2 Laysan Teal-- 2 Laysan Teal not seen. 120 Nene released among 50 wild ones. Had ( ) pig and sweet potato for lunch thanks to private luau of biologist at Pohakuloa who gave us key to Ka'he Wildlife Management area. Also saw 1 hybrid Mouflou-- wild sheep and many pigs. All penned birds looked vigorous and alert and plump. Kaohe road winds 4 miles through open Manane-Naio forest to cabin at entrance to Marua Kea Wildlife Management area. We stopped every quarter mile or so to look and isten for birds. California Quail plentiful along raod, also R. N. Pheasant. No green pheasants. Nored birds in Manane--Amakiki very abundant. Found 1 nest with 2 dggs spotted at large end off-white--20 feet up in Manane tree in shallow cup. Broke 1 egg unintentionally looking into nest. Embryo well developed, feathers showing on body. Parents came back less than a minute after we left nest. Nest lined with lichens. Also saw a few creepers--hard to distinguish only marks smaller bill and darker browner color. Saw 5 Palila. Call was strong melodic Pa-li-la. Saw 3 at one time. In same tree with Palila No. 5 was Akiapoloau, like an Amakiki except yellower and with preposterous bill, longer than in Peterson. Lower mandible short and straight--space showed between 2 mandibles. Flew off before Dave Au could see bill. He saw body and D. Bratley saw whole birds clearly too. Couldn't find him again after searching area.
