Description
An apapane sits above a lehua blossom on the branch of a blooming ohia-lehua tree on Haleakala, the dormant volcano on Maui. The honeycreeper gathers nectar from the blossom, just as the hummingbird does in North America. There were once more than 55 species of honeycreepers in the Hawaiian Islands, but most are now extinct.
