Pasting in my original notes until I have time to fill this out:
Weather blowing mist until about 10:30, then gradual clearing until intense sun on contour trail. WWHON 2 & 3, only as far down as cle tub, and not as far as cya mac One rotting flower on same cle arb photographed last year, but able to assemble for OK photo. Find tetraplasandra tree on transect. See more cyrtandra than I remembered in 2009. Plenty of 'akohekohe in all the usual places. Plenty viewed well. Station 1A bird, 2-3 below station 2A, 2 at station 2B, 2 on pali below station 3A, and 2 heard from station 3B. Juvenile parrotbill heard from station 2A, and male, banded (?)female and begging juvenile encountered on way back through station 2B. Greenhouse: Plantago princeps, phy bra, phy bre, phy pil, phy ??? lys rem, sch hil, arg gra, cle sam Not well stocked right now, and cyanea horrida not looking good. phy bra tiny white flowers, and white fuzzy foliage. phy bre medium dark leaves and mostly glabrous phy pil outside in same spot. phy ??? may be phy pil - in tray between two other species. Point counts: WWHON02A 0738 APAP-3 IIWI-2 HAAM-2 MAAL-1 AKOH-1 MAPA-1 JAWE-3 RBLE-7 WWHON03A 0912 APAP-4 IIWI-3 HAAM-1 MAAL-2 AKOH-1 WWHON03B 1024 APAP-5 IIWI-2 HAAM-2 MAAL-4 AKOH-1 JAWE-1 JABW-1 RBLE-2 Transects: WWHON02: Hearing juv MAPA closer to transect 1. Hearing station 1A AKOH. 50 meters group of 4 MAAL with begging juv. 50-75 meters along hear 3 AKOH spread out. 150m 3 MAAL seem to be attracting members of previous group as they near each other. 170m 3 AKOH. 400m 1 MAAL. 440m 2 station 2B AKOH. WWHON03: 3 MAAL at 30m Other: Station 1A AKOH. Return trip: 2 AKOH by departure from station 3B. Halfway back: 1-2 AKOH and answering AKOH on other side of valley. Station 3A Pair of AKOH. Station 2B singing male MAPA and curious AKOH. Closely followed by banded MAPA (AL/GR,RE/GR) and begging juv. 1/3 of way up trans 2, 2 AKOH. 2/3 of way up trans 2, 1-2 AKOH. Station 1A AKOH as usual, but cannot solidly confirm. Unsure if MAPA juveniles are same. Station 1A AKOH, also heard at 2A. 2-3 AKOH 1/3 of way into trans 2 both ways. Unsure how these are related to next 3. 2 AKOH near station 2B as usual. 2 AKOH below station 3A. 2 AKOH heard halfway along trans 3. 2-3 AKOH heard widely scattered near station 3B. Difficult to sort out potential repeats.
