Our wishlist currently includes the puaiohi, the 'akeke'e, the 'akikiki, the Maui Parrotbill, the po'ouli, and clear shots of the Hawaiian Petrel as well as any other birds in Hawai'i missing from the above list and birds in flight. If you have photos of any of those. Please share with us. Mahalo this time around to those who added in clear photos of the 'alala, a photo of the Hawaiian Petrel and a correction of our mislabelling of the
Red-masked parakeets as Red-Crowned Amazons.
