- Summary:
- The Elepaio (Chasiempis sandwichensis) is an endemic Hawaiian species of the Old World flycatcher family (Muscicapidae) and more is known about the life history of this bird than any other endemic Hawaiian land bird. While three separate races occur on the islands of Kauai, Oahu, and Hawaii, there is no evidence to suggest that these birds ever inhabited the islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Maui. In addition, there appears to be no published photographs of the eggs or the young of any race of this species. As a result, the nests of three Hawaii Elepaio (Chasiempis s. sandwichensis), are provided in this document along with additional information regarding elevation at which nests are generally found on the islands of which they inhabit.
