I recently returned from a 2 1/2 week Earthwatch project on Hawaii working with endangered forest birds, especially three species of honeycreepers. This Earthwatch project will be repeated next year and is an excellent opportunity for birders to be in areas that the general public has no access to. It also is a chance for you to be involved in a project that might possibly have a positive impact on the future survival of these endangered species. Hawaii is a fascinating island. We lived in National Park Service housing on the rim of Kilauea Caldera, saw 5 endangered species and lots of others. Next year the project will probably involve banding and tracking akiapola'au and Hawaiian creepers. I will be glad to e-mail additional information to anyone who is interested.
