Sightings

Many years ago I lived on the edge of the forest on Oahu below the Pali lookout. While living there I saw a group of four Omao. They were all young and probably from the same nest. They were chalk grey with grey bill and grey legs. They were very slightly darker on top than on the breast. They had a black button eye. They had little fear of me; I walked within six feet of them then walked away. I only saw them once.

While living there I also saw a group of five immature olive-drab, crimson honeycreepers. They saw me without flying away. I saw an adult of the same at nearby St. Steven’s. It was not very afraid of me. I also saw one adult Apapane. It was terrified of me when it saw me and flew away with great speed. Years earlier than that, 1976, I saw an adult Iiwi in a clearing at the top of the valley one north of Waikane Valley. It was scarlet with straw colored legs. Puoa were common and would come within feet of me at night.

During the years I lived on Oahu, beneficial nematodes were introduced to the ecology. They helped to control noxious insects that had preyed upon the fledglings of the more delicate birds. Many smaller introduced birds were spotted by me at the time that had not lived in the area before as well such as white-eye, red bill leiothrix and very small finches. —Preceding unsigned comment added by My Flatley (talk • contribs) 04:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwamikagami: You need to elaborate more in your move request nominations because I have no idea what you're actually proposing. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:17, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I was able to fix the orthography (there aren't any apostrophes in the word) at the expense of capitalization. Simple fix now. — kwami (talk) 18:48, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
