King, Warren B. 1964 Hawaii 17 No song heard. From lookout at cabin saw 6 good sized Pigs on slopes below. Skylarks and Linnets plentiful throughout area. Also mynahs, Barred Doves, and a few white-eyes. Saw one Pueo at close range. Leiothrix around and in Neve pens. Heard them occasionally on slopes. Returned 1800 in fog for supper in Hilo and night on ship. Tomorrow National Park. 18 April Arrived Nat'l Park 10:30 after stopping along way to look for Drepanids; saw only Apapane and Amakiki--heard Iiwi. Good medium height ohia with tree fern understory--not too wet though. At park went around cartes, seeing Kilauea Iki, site of '59 eruption, then around to Halemaumau where we saw 2 White-tailed Tropicbirds floating below us in immense crater. Completely inaccessible. Walls unsettled and vertical. Drove out to Kipuka bird park, where 5 Apapane and countless White-eyes, Leiothrix, Ricebird and Finch were seen. Beautiful trees, both Koa and Ohia. Koa 200 ft. high, 10 ft. diameter. Ohia at least as high and straight trunked, shaped like elm. Went on Mauna Loa strip road to end. Saw Green Pheasant along way and Iiwi at end. Road 10 mi. long, ascending through Ohia, then Koa Kipukas and rather barren as lava, Pukeawe and bush, perfect for Neve but found none. Found out later they had been seen at 3 trees Kipuka near end of road on left side. Returned and went down route 185 to Olas tract where Ou reported but rainy weather turned us back. Went down main highway to field on right side where Coturnix density supposedly highest--tramped brush for 2 hours but no Coturnix, but upon returning 8 or 10 were heard singing in area we had tramped. Had supper at Volcano house and saw volcano movies. Drove out to Kilauea Iki, Halenianumau and chain of craters listening for Dark-rumpec Petrel at each one but heard only wind. During day heard Tropicbirds in Halemaumau without trouble. Returned to ship 11 p.m.
