The other day I got to hike the Boardwalk Trail at the #Waikamoi Preserve on #Maui, owned by #TheNatureConservancy. Untrammeled native Hawaiian forest is a rarity, so I savor these opportunities to go birdwatching in the last remaining haunts of the endangered #Kiwikiu and #Akohekohe (tho I struck out on both this time).

Most visitors to #Hawaii are unaware of the fact that they've probably never seen a native Hawaiian forest bird.

The tree trunks are gnarled and twisting, covered in moss.Similar to previous image, showing a densely vegetated forest scene, slightly darkened by mist, looking up a narrow (3 feet wide) wooden boardwalk that steps up a gradual slope along ground exploding in ferns.
