#Nectarivore Laysan finch Scientific name: Telespiza cantans The Laysan finch is a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper, that is endemic to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. It is one of four remaining finch-billed Hawaiian honeycreepers and is closely related to the smaller Nihoa finch. The Laysan finch is named for Laysan, the island to which it was endemic on its discovery. It was subsequently introduced to a few other atolls, and its historical range included some of the main islands.

It is endemic to the island of Kauaʻi where it is found in small numbers in higher elevations. Akekeʻe is currently found only in Waimea Canyon State Park, Alakaʻi Wilderness Preserve and Kōkeʻe State Park.

When we think of pollinators, we picture bees or birds, but even wolves can get in on the action! In Ethiopia, the fiery blooms of Kniphofia foliosa lure Ethiopian wolves with sweet nectar. Can wolves be pollinators? Find out here👉 https://t.co/uYVHQvdd2B 📷 Adrien Lesaffre

We banded our first Orchard Oriole of the season this morning. Check out the pollen stains on her forehead. What a #nectarivore! #orchardoriole #manometspring2018 #birdbanding
